America's Best Farm-to-Table Restaurants

For all you travellers...

This month's Gourmet has a best-of list of restaurants using locally sourced ingredients. They oddly didn't sort it by state, so I've done that for you here.

"Seasonal. Sustainable. Homegrown. It's the trend of the moment. Here's who does it best." (See the Gourmet Restaurant Guide for complete reviews.)

Tara, glad this was helpful. Your comment made those wee-hours typing it all out worth it. It really isn't a comprehensive list, as you mentioned, but at least it's a start!
