Why do we love local restaurants?

Our love of local food started separately, but together, we’ve discovered so many local restaurants that deserve more love.

Food

Locally owned and operated restaurants have more say-so in their ingredients, which usually leads to better (and tastier) dishes! Plus, it’s made with love.
