Eating Well While Eating Out

Dining out isn’t always easy for people who like to eat local and sustainable meat. Only select restaurants use local and sustainable ingredients, and it’s not always easy to know which restaurants serve what until you arrive, if at all. It’s even more challenging for devotees of the Paleo diet, who try to eat “as our ancestors ate” (read: lots of meat). But last night at Russet, a Rittenhouse restaurant committed to local sourcing and whole animal cooking, husband-and-wife chefs Andrew and Kristin Wood cooked a special pre-fixe menu that met the meat-eating needs of both groups.

Nearly 40 diners enjoyed the delicious, four-course menu featuring Philly CowShare grass-fed beef and pasture-raised pork. It was the second Paleo dinner co-hosted by Russet and Philly CowShare; a similar event was first held in December in 2013.
