What does farm to table mean?

>> No.9691129

A restaurant concept that bypasses the modern systems of distributors/warehouses and pre-processed ingredients.

It's just normal eating without industrialization the way people have been doing it for millenia. Sadly, it's become some sort of new buzzword instead of the norm.

It's supposed to mean fresh food without much processing. Now I think it's just another fad. Everything my grandparents ate was farm to table.

Farm to table means the restaurant was once a farm but has since been converted into a restaurant. These places are unsanitary.

It's basically either directly from the farm, organic raised and all that shit, or it's the product of hunting. Either way, supposed to have less hormones, fillers, etc.

It's the last food meme that will soon mean nothing at all, like """organic""".

>> No.9691294

>>9691124
Basically it means the chef, or someone the chef trusts, goes to likely a farmer's market and buys ingredients directly
It's supposed to imply the ingredients are as fresh as possible and having no been laying around in a warehouse, being processed or shipped.
Also also that they were fiddled with chemicals and shit.

buzzword for locally sourced as opposed to being sourced through one of the food giants

>> No.9691442

Its a term used to sell. No leak definition so you can call anything farm to table

>> No.9691499

It's liberal virtue signaling for restaurants. The culinary equivalent of Black Lives Matter.

These, and usually they try to source food from within a dozen or so miles of the restaurant's physical location. That will usually mean they get their produce and meat from farmer's markets, butter and cheese from local dairies, and booze from local wineries and breweries. Basically you know it's gonna be good unless the cook is just hopelessly bad.

Realistically, it means "same product, double price."

But it's *supposed* to mean something like higher quality by avoiding modern processing.

They're just not mentioning the part where modern processing is really really good these days and doesn't reduce quality unless you're purchasing substandard goods.
