"On a weekday night, there's a line out the door, a small traffic jam of SUVs in front of the valet. The crowd is young and fashionable, lots of black leather and cell phones.

At the front is a copper board listing all the produce available that day, marked certified, organic, transitional or conventional. Here, you really know what you're eating. And it is all real food."
