Welcome to the Orange County Locavore

What is a locavore? It is someone who attempts to eat food that is grown as near to their dining location as possible. It is part of the slow food movement - the antithesis of "fast food" (i.e., over processed, franchised establishments or out of a box meal that has been microwaved). It is food meant to be nutritious, good tasting, and eco-friendly.  It s a bit idealistic at times but then again we should all try to place the bar a little higher for ourselves and the environment than "fast food" and microwaved meals.
