If going green is on the mind, the best spot on Main Street to get a delicious bite and think organic is Home Grown Cafe. Brett Tunstall, a general manager at Home Grown, says the restaurant began as a vegetarian option, serving no meat and a selection of salads and wraps. The restaurant has always been known as a piace for vegetarians, winning many awards sans meat. Since then, Home Grown has expanded its menu and now includes chili, stt~ak, chicken and seafood, in addition to the salads and wraps, he says. . Tunst11ll says Home Grown uses organic meats, fruits and vegetables in many of the dishes served. Home Grown even hired a company to convert the restaurant's fryer oil into bio-diesel fuel. Additionally, he says the jewelry sold in Home Grown is organic, using rocks for many of the designs. Because going green is such a trend now, many restaurants are using the word organic in their adver tising, Tunstall says. Home Grown still uses many organic products, including local fruits and vegetables, organic meat, farm-raised salmon and fresh scallops. "Other places throw around the word organic because it's such a general term," Tunstall says. "But there is USDA-sanctioned organic stuff and that's ·. what we use." When the restaurant can't get organic products. because _of high prices, he says they'll bring in local products, including area cheeses. Tunstall says many restaurants buy organic food when the price is right, but no other restaurant uses organic products in the capacity they do. Sometimes restaurants get organic products because they're the freshest or best looking, but Home Grown has always been known for using many organic products. He says though using these products might be more expensive at times, the difference is easy to notice, especially on the tongue. "You can really taste the freshness when you go organic," Tunstall says. May 20,2008 23 .. Best Green Groceries: Newark Natural Foods BY LARISSA CRUZ only healthy and organic food.
