Seth and I checked out the new restaurant Ancora (on Freret) last night. OK, it was a cheat, but I'm blogging about it because they actually have a lot of local ingredients. They were serving an ab-fab market salad of green beens and pickled onions - all local. The pizza is made from their own sourdough starter, fresh tomato sauce, and house-made charcutterie. OK, we asked, and the tomatoes are not local - they are flown in from Italy....
I recommend it to all you locally minded folks after the Locavore Challenge.
