Eve Restaurant Mize Farm Sustainable Black Angus Dinner

Eve Restaurant invites you to join us for a celebration of a partnership we are quite proud of. Our passion is to create food using as many small, local, and sustainable businesses as possible. Eve’s newest partnership is with Mize Family Farm, a small farm located in southern Illinois that has been in operation since 1854. The original Mize homestead was granted by the US government as part of an initiative to encourage settlers in Illinois. From the start, this farm has prided themselves on using methods that encourage land conservation and humane animal husbandry and these practices are still in place today. They are Animal Welfare Approved, NO hormones, NO antibiotics, NO overpopulation.

As of Monday April 6th Eve Restaurant will be featuring beef from Mize Family Farm. To celebrate this Chef Troy Graves has designed a 5 course tasting menu using various parts of the whole cow we have purchased. Please join us in learning more about this small farm and tasting what a difference small and conscious farming makes in quality.

Sounds nice, but then I'm unsure where the buttered lobster and rock shrimp come in (must be somewhere around Kaskaskia, or the Shedd Aquarium).

That seems a little unfair. She basically said "as many as possible," not "only," and I think a more charitable reading of what she was trying to say is "as many local ingredients as possible while still remaining within the confines of the upscale dining genre" (i.e., serving at least some seafood choices). There are any number of locally-focused places (Avec, Lula, Publican, May Street Market, Vie, etc.) that serve seafood that is (obviously) not local, but that does not diminish their cred as locally-focused establishments.

Yeah, got up on the wrong side of the desk last evening. But Great Lakes fish would have impressed and enticed me more on this type of a menu (which I wish I could post easily, but it's stored in a link within a link within a .pdf).

Here's the menu:
