These are a sampling of the chefs who look at their menus as changeable canvases to be painted each day with the col- ors of sun-ripened crops, grass-fed regional beef, organi- cally-raised animals, excellent local cheese and a splash of Adirondack honey or maple syrup. Chef Jarrad Lang of the Mirror Lake Inn summed it up: " When I was growing up on my grandparents farm in Crown Point, local food was just regular food. We had gar- dens, chickens and pigs, my uncle kept bees, our neighbors had orchards and still produced milk. That was just what was normal at that point in my life. That was lost in the years af- ter moving off the farm through my early days in the kitchen and I didn't experience food in that way again until going to France and seeing farmer's markets, meeting and working with local artisans, and again having the experience of truly knowing where the food comes from. It's all of these mem- ories and experiences over the years that have solidified my beliefs in the importance of using local and regional foods whenever possible and supporting our small local farmers and artisans." Today, the Left Bank Café is home base for the French Connection, but the disciple chefs, who spent three months in France, years ago, remain active ambassadors of their ac- quired connection to quality ingredients. Their passion is shared by a growing number of restaurants and chefs and farmers who are just as passionate and connected. In the coming seasons I will visit, inter view, and share many of the philosophies that these people refer to as their stakes in the ground. The following farms and restaurants were listed in this article and represent a small sampling of Adirondack Food People who are building relationships and creating a perfect environment for a community focused on eating well.
