Good Things Grow in Ontario - What Does Local Mean to You?

We believe that local is here to stay and it's gaining more and more momentum. Local means quality to me. Top chefs want to use the freshest and the best possible ingredients. And the best and freshest ingredients are local. Jamie Kennedy: It's not a fad, it's not a trend, it's a shift. Anthony Longo: My name's Anthony Longo. Jamie: Jamie Kennedy. Kathleen McIntosh: My name is Kathleen McIntosh. Carl Heinrich: I'm the chef at Marben restaurant. Anthony: What I'll talk about is the importance of local to Longo's. We think it's important to support families and producers. Artur Bilski: We're a farm in Grimsby. Anthony: Local product is fresher and it tastes better. Artur: If you get something from far away, you know it takes time to transport stuff. It takes a long time. Here, you get more fresh stuff. Hildegarde Jans: That means like home-grown, here in Ontario. I can just tell that the freshness is definitely there. Kathleen: Local is important for a variety of reasons. First and foremost, for the eater, it's about taste. Hildegarde: Well, your nice cherries. Angus Tucker: Corn in the summertime is fantastic. Brussels sprouts. Anthony: Zucchini pie. Jamie: Blueberry pie. Asparagus. Jake Tucker: Eggs. Angus: The eggs? Kathleen: I hope local is heading to be the first choice of people. Our vision and our mission at Culinarium is to change the way Ontario eats. Anthony: And I think we are at a tipping point where consumers want to see more and more local product. Jamie: Well I just think the more the merrier; it's really great for me to see it as someone who's been on the scene for many years in Toronto, that the next generation of cooks is really taking this seriously. Carl: The food is good because the product is good. The product is good because it doesn't have to come from Mexico or California. It comes from our backyard.
