The aversion to chain restaurants, a flick I would like to present.

This happens to be one of the better documentaries on what chain restaurants and chains in general do to communities in my opinion, and well worth the time to watch it, especially since it takes place some 3 years in the wake of Katrina in NOLA, and should be pretty familiar surroundings to most.

For those who choose to see it, I feel confident that you will walk away with perhaps a clearer understanding of what the aversion to chains is all about, who really has a vested interest in our communities, and where communities gain most in the long run in revenue. I think that John Besh does a pretty good job of nailing down things, as do the farmers and fishermen, etc.

A friend of mine from high school has been operating a small farm in Thibodaux for many years and he has built up a connection with the chefs of NOLA by which he grows the produce that they like to be able to use in their kitchens.

Cool. I have a friend in Oxford, MS that does the same for there and Memphis. He grows over 100 different items.

That's super cool. I love to see that happening all over, even here in BR with people using people like Covey Rise, Cajun Grain, and many smaller and lesser known local producers. That's what's UP, and benefits the community, our local economy, as well as the overall health and vibrancy of where we live.

I bet you're proud of them.

Covey has become very popular for various veggies. I think they are raising some animals now too.

They sure have, and I've heard that as well.


Another is Inglewood Farms.
