Watched Food, Inc. last night and was pretty grossed out.
My dad and I drove through a cattle feed lot in Texas that was so big we literally could not see where it ended. From far away, I thought it was a car junkyard. Then we got up close and saw that it was not junk cars, but thousands of cows milling around. And the stench--WOW.
Nevertheless, I stopped at Crown Burger on the way back from an errand to Benchmark Books. Cheeseburger + fries + fry sauce = one full and slightly queasy stomach.
Whither all the locally-sourced, minimally-processed, fresh food restaurants in SLC?

Hi--I just read this (way behind on my blog reading). The whole safe meat issue is a real quagmire and I've been talking with a friend about writing a series of articles helping people to navigate it. But Utah has increasing numbers of sources for locally-grown food in general. (Sadly I've found Whole Foods is not one of them.) I'd start with the farmer's markets. In SLC there's Caputo's and Liberty Heights Fresh. Sunflower Markets are not too expensive and have some locally-grown produce sometimes. For restaurants, try Pago, Squatters (really!), Tipico, Pine, Martine, Em's, Acme Burger (I think), Stella Grill. It helps to ask the manager/owner questions about his/her meat sources. Even if you don't get the answer you want it lets them know customers care.
