Best suburban restaurant worth leaving the city for

Vie

Lots of chefs talk about cooking in season, using local products and cooking from the heart. Many of those chefs are just pimping buzzwords. Chef Paul Virant, on the other hand, is working hard to source Midwestern ingredients, preserving and canning fruits and vegetables, curing meats, foraging for mushrooms and digging fresh ramps. He believes in the purity of food, and celebrating the simple bounty of the earth.
