Kale Cobb Salad w/Grilled Chicken. Local Table. Katy, Texas. 3.28.2022.

NOTE TO SELF: The chicken ratio was off -- big chunks of that white meat -- but otherwise a salad that kept my attention. Fresh ingredients.

Local Table is the first local premium casual restaurant in downtown LA that serves food with a creative and unique twist.

Local Table celebrated the bounty of the season by asking friends and community members to donate food from their gardens or other items that they produce (eggs, honey, wine, flowers). Angie To and Michelle Illuminato gathered the goods and created a meal using only those local ingredients. Gardenless people baked bread for the meal and eleven people volunteered to help make it happen! It took place on September 10th at the 104 year-old Parish House of the Seventh Day Baptist Church in Alfred. After the meal, Jonas Lindburg, a local artist-forager gave a slide show about the finding of the puffball mushroom that we grilled for the meal.
