First Stop: The Wholesome Table
Starting things right with something healthy, our first stop is at The Wholesome Table. It is a concept by health advocate Bianca Elizalde.
According to their statement at a board plastered on its wall, they are committed to serving fresh, natural and real so all their produce comes from organic sources except fo their cheese, meats used are grass-fed, poultry and eggs are free-range, products are sourced locally whenever possible and seafood are wild-caught. I especially like the part that states that they don't use high-fructose corn syrup or any artificial stuff and try to avoid using shortening and partially hydrogenated fats (these are converted into trans-fats when heated!).
