Review
"At all of my restaurants, we strive to shorten the time and distance any ingredient spends from the soil, water, or air to the plate. This notion is exactly what Harvest to Heat celebrates -- eating local, artisanal products made from farmers who have been doing what they do -- perfectly -- their whole lives." Mario Batali, Chef/Author
Review
