Pizza Today - February 2022 - 40

Farm
To Table
KITCHEN
Risky, expensive, unpredictable, humbling, but totally rewarding.
A chef's learning perspective.
F
arm to Table is not new. However, when I
started my restaurant, Dante, 13 years ago,
it was a daunting experience. If ever there
were an ideal location to pull off a true 'farm to
table' experience, it is here in the very center of
the United States surrounded by hundreds of
miles of the most fertile and productive farms.
Here we have access to the best proteins, fruits
vegetables, tuber, mushrooms and other natural
products. However, getting to all that abundant
food product is not simple, straightforward
or inexpensive. In 2008, it meant blazing new
ground and literally creating a whole new supply
chain from scratch. Th is is my story on how we
created a whole new culinary food option for
my new restaurant. Perhaps, most satisfying, is
that I learned this ancient concept from the true
cultivators of this very basic and natural process
when I studied in Tuscany. Whether you are
cooking in Omaha in the middle of the United
States or in Cortana in the middle of Tuscany
the basic 'Farm to Table' rules are the same.
