There’s both good and bad to that source-ability. And there is another way. Perhaps. Gift baskets of heirloom tomatoes from Kurlbaum’s Heirloom Tomato Farm For years now, we’ve all been hearing about all the reasons to only eat locally produced foodstuffs.  And by that, people usually mean food grown in smaller farms, outside, and preferably without pesticides, hormones, or any of the nasties that have made our food bigger, easier to transport longer distances, cheaper usually -- and probably more tasteless. For restaurants in the Midwest, it’s a di...
