So, what makes good food good?

* Local Organic Farming and Dairies
* Inspiring Professional Chefs       
* Family Owned Bakeries
* Unique Creative Ideas 

While all these factors hold true to good food, people gather that a well-eaten meal is measured by some sense of familiarity, whether instinctive or emotional. As we all know, food energizes, builds our muscles, fuels our brain, and begins our metabolisms to allow for productive daily life.

 So, is that it? Food is just a tool? Absolutely not! Food moves us, invites us into other cultures, changes old habits into new, more exciting ways to enjoy all the same. The simple fact that it is a necessity instills its importance to manage it well.

Food is better when eaten in these circumstances

• A welcoming inclusive environment
• Has that sense of nostalgia
• Surrounded by good conversations
• Satisfies personal expectations

Who wouldn’t want all of these? I do, for one, and I believe most people gather to break bread for these same reasons— being drawn in by something they may or may not understand. Surely, we have the ability to share good food everywhere, with everyone.
Whether it’s a tuna fish sandwich or roast beef with all the trimmings, let’s put some effort into creating good food for our neighbors, friends, and even most importantly, strangers…May they become part of the welcoming atmosphere and enticing conversations that make food so good and integral to all of us!
