Step Inside The Texas Restaurant That Serves Comfort Food To Die For
We usually don’t worry too much about whether our food is organic or not here in Texas. Give us a crispy, tender chicken-fried steak and a heaping serving of mashed potatoes, and we couldn’t care less whether the meat was raised with antibiotics or the potatoes were genetically modified.
But even if you aren’t an environmentalist, I can guarantee that eating locally grown food tastes much better. Farm to Fork in Leander, near Austin, serves the same down-home meals you’re used to but prioritizes the quality of the ingredients. Where’s the harm in that?
Farm to Fork's chef, Shelley Pogue, set out to create a restaurant that makes you nostalgic for Sunday dinner at Grandma's - and she did just that.
Menu items vary based on what's in season, but they're guaranteed to never disappoint. This cheeseburger with barbecue sauce, bacon, and beer-battered onion rings sure doesn't...
They have some items that are offered daily, like this meatloaf sandwich with bacon, three cheese, caramelized onions, and barbecue sauce on jalapeno cheddar bread...
Even if you think organic food is only for entitled yuppies, I highly encourage you to experience eating locally-grown food if for no other reason than the simple fact that it tastes better. (It really does, I promise!)
