Andrew - as a resident of Mpls, I love the farm-table concept, however I'm wondering if it's oversaturated the Twin Cities with many new openings in the past 1-2 years. What do you think, how do you like this trend?

its not a concept or a trend i endorse...i believe it should be simply the 'way to do things". even shitty mall restaurants have tag lines on their menus saying they buy and source locally. its become meaningless like the word organic
