Farm to Table restaurants...everyone's doin' it!

Like I have mentioned before, Denver and Boulder are really progressive about the farm to table movement, especially in their restaurants.

The bar at Salt Bistro

Recently, I went to a delicious, fairly new restaurant called Salt in Boulder that prides itself in its use of local farm ingredients from the Boulder area.  The restaurant is situated in the old "Tom's Tavern" location.  And was it oh so good!

To start we had a yummy warm flat bread with peaches, melted gorgonzola cheese, and prosciutto with a light dressed salad on top.  The sweetness of the peaches with the saltiness of the prosciutto and bite of the cheese was such a nice combination.

For an entree we had sweet corn and shiitake risotto with steak on top, which was their lunch special.  It was super creamy with large bits of shiitake and sweet corn just as promised, and the steak was cooked and seasoned to perfection.  Overall a great meal.  The ambiance of the place is really cool too; exposed brick, open kitchen, and most of the interior is made from recycled and re-used materials keeping with their focus on sustainability.  I highly recommend Salt for a great meal or just a cool place for a drink.
