Wednesday, May 16, 2012
Attendees of this year's South Fork Culinary Showcase were asked the question "Do you take advantage of the fact that you're in the heart of Long Island's Farm Country and use local products as a selling point in your establishment?" The restaurant patrons of today are more educated and are looking for the story as to how their meal made it to their plate. They want to know if their meat and produce are grown and raised close to home. They want to know that their food was monitored for food safety during its journey from farm to fork.
At the 2012 South Fork Culinary Showcase, J. Kings also featured its valued local farmers, butchers, bakers and manufacturers and demonstrated how customers could use these local products as a selling point in their establishment.
Since restaurant patrons are demanding more, the J. Kings Culinary Team worked hard to develop "12 for 2012" menu ideas to spark culinary inspiration for the upcoming summer season. |

Local Sourcing Menu
More restaurant patrons are looking for restaurants that incorporate
local produce, meats, breads and groceries into their menu offerings.

concept in their restaurant, the J.Kings Culinary Team developed a
sample menu which cited the local farms, butchers and manufacturers
that product was sourced from.
