Question of the week: Is “eating local” important to you?

My friend and colleague Annie Calovich recently wrote an interesting story about the “eat local” movement, which is making its way into Wichita.

I’ve spoken to several restaurateurs lately who are either dabbling in or committed to serving locally-produced food: Old Mill Tasty Shop, The Anchor, Lotus Leaf Cafe among them. Harvest Kitchen/Bar in the Hyatt has centered its entire approach around serving local food.

My question this week: How important is eating local to you? Which restaurants in Wichita do you patronize to do that?
