Tomorrow, tomorrow, I luv ya, tomorrow! Off to Kissimmee tomorrow to attend our local distributor's biannual food show. Great timing. Cheney Brothers is based in Del Ray; truly local (within 100 miles). They carry a Green Balance line of eco-minded products, including some listed by the Green Restaurant Association. This tickles us pink because we are striving to be one of a handful of restaurants in Florida listed with the GRA (http://www.dinegreen.com/). Chef personally respects Cheney's committment to excellence.
Sadly, but not surprisingly, our rep had never heard of a GMO. There are many products we will not be able to purchase locally and we are proud to support a wonderful company like Cheney Brothers; however, we assume the responsibility of finding out exactly what is in every ingredient we buy and where it is produced and how it is produced. So we are off to the frigid north tomorrow armed with smiles, a large pad for copious notes, multiple pens and an investigative instinct aimed at the jugular! This is the perfect opportunity for us to get information directly from the suppliers, or at the least, motivate them to find out for themselves. For those without answers to our questions, we will research all the way to the producers, if need be.
We'd like to take a moment to beg everyone to see "Food, Inc." It's available on NetFlix. If you know us, we have a copy and would be glad to show it to you anytime. You are what you eat; do you know what you're eating?!
