Farmer's Markets: An Exploration of being a Long Island Locavore

Why Eat local?

Many people have their reasons for it, many of their reasons differ. It doesn't really have a impact of the healthiness of the food and sometimes it isn't even cheaper. Than why eat local? This is something I needed to look into and explore myself. Would I like it? Can I save money? Is eating local for me? In this post I discover the local farmer's markets and discover my own motivation to eat local.

An Intimate Look Inside Jedediah Hawkins

UPDATE: Sadly Executive Chef Lia Fallon is no longer with JHI. While it is a beautiful place, I am afraid this review of the food is no longer valid.

Life is but a dream: a beautiful and delicious dream at Jedidiah Hawkins. Tucked away on the east end of long island, in the historic home of it's namesake, you are transported to an alternate reality. A place where time stands still and you savor every moment. Driving up the long driveway I was impressed by the grand scale of the estate. Walking onto the grounds I immediately felt a sense of calm come to me, my worries were left inside of my car and I was free too just savor la dolce vita. Why? So many reasons but mostly ambiance, the grounds are just so picturesque and the historic quality of the home just seems to make you think of a simpler time. No cell phones, no internet, just the presence of others to occupy your time.
