Founding Farmers

While we may not have been filming as soon as we arrived in Washington DC, we did hurry ourselves over to Founding Farmers, a phenomenal restaurant on Pennsylvania Avenue whose menu is made entirely of organic, sustainable and biodynamic meals. The place obviously isn't only for those on the fringe, it was packed. I ordered the maple syrup and apricot glazed line-caught salmon with swiss chard and deviled eggs as my appetizer. Steve dined on scallops with fresh oysters for his appetizer while Scott had the meatloaf (all grass-fed!) with a homemade grapefruit beverage concocted freshly each day by the bartender. Granted the meal was out of this world, but the thing that BLEW US AWAY was the fact that Adam Barr, our great farmer friend from Kentucky was seated a mere 2 tables away.  Conversation and hugs abounded. While we were in town for the National Organic Standards Board meeting, Adam sits on the Board for the National Family Farm Association. Who would think that a city of suits would attract so many people concerned about farm issues at the very same time. We were then off to the hotel to get a great night's sleep for what is sure to be an adventurous trip to DC!
