This great announcement came in my Google Reader. January 25-31, restaurants in the Orlando area that support local (within 200 miles) growers will be focusing on "promoting connection, community, culture and cuisine in Central Florida." You can go to Heather McPhearson's Food Blog for a list of participating restaurants.

Paul and I are thinking about saving our pennies for a week of eating out in Orlando to show our support. Some of the restaurants that are our top choices to visit are: Harmoni Restaurant, Dandelion CommuniTea Cafe, and the Virgin Olive Market. Thank you, Travis and Patty for recommending the latter.

If you have a recommended restaurant on the list complete with dishes to order, please comment at the bottom of this post so others can enjoy the tastes, too.
