I love the idea of eating local. It is always the way that my Dad encouraged us to do as we travel or are dining out at home…looking forward to meeting you at Camp Blogaway!

[...] generally, the choice seems to rest comfortably divided between two camps—chain versus local “Mom and Pop” [...]

We love to try small, Mom and Pop places, and I could do one of these, with my local recommendations. I really enjoyed this post and felt like I was visiting with you, on your journey.

I don’t know Guy either. I too, have no cable. I love your take on places!

I think it is really important to support local businesses of any kind. Keeping our money in the community is one of the best things we can do for our economy.

President Obama is having a “Job Summit”, have you heard? He has invited big CEOs and CFO’s to the white house, to talk about the economy. Hear what they have to say. A novel idea. The white house announced yesterday that he is also inviting some local, small business leaders. Well hello!? Ding. Good for him, to recognize that not everyone eats, lives and breaths through huge corporations.

Sometimes, I wonder about this ole world.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I agree. Eating locally just makes so much sense. The food is tastier and healthier. And cheaper! So the question is why wouldn’t anyone want to eat locally? It just makes sense.

Cheers!

Nice post, Robin. I don’t watch Guy (no cable), but we just ate at a Korean dive last week, and it was fabulous. (I’m venturing to say that Guy hasn’t been out here to Wichita to review it…) Maybe the dives that haven’t been on his show fare better? Maybe once they’ve made it on national TV, they just get lazy.

Either that, or we could just all learn to cook for ourselves….
