Sure thing. It's tougher now that we're at the end of the growing season, but all of the ones below are highly recommended and source locally when possible: - Alana's http://www.alanas.com/ Excellent food, very eclectic, the woman is a genius with risottos and I've never had a bad meal here. - Black Creek Bistro http://www.blackcreekbistro.com/index.html Kent grows much of the stuff that's cooked on the restaurant on his farm - they have a great "bistro meal" for $10 every night - Rigsby's http://www.rigsbyskitchen.com/ - has seasonal, locally sourced Italian food - the chef/owner is a Slow Food member - Basi Italia http://www.basi-italia.com/ Chef Johnny is also a Slow Food member, and has been the chef for many of their events. The restaurant does seasonal locally driven food, and is a cozy little neighborhood spot. Those are the ones that come to mind off the top of my head, maybe some other people can put in their 2 cents?

Hi! I couldn't find a "contact me" link anywhere, so just tossing my question for you into this post:

I'll be in Columbus visiting family for Christmas and am looking for locavore-type restaurants to try. What are your top five suggestions? We'll try anything once, so no need to exclude any sort of cuisine.

Thanks!

I was just there once and had the lamb chops, which were to die for. I'll definitely be going back.

I haven't been there for a while but I remember thinking that the french fries were really good. I also like their lentil soup and falafel sandwich. That bread/dip is so good that I generally fill up on that and then can't finish my meal.
