Grand Rapids restaurants served locally grown fare long before farm-to-fork dining became a national movement. You'll find locavore-friendly restaurants in every area of the city. Here are a few enjoying recent acclaim:
• Brewery Vivant was named one of the Top 25 new places to eat by Midwest Living in January 2012.
• The Jennings Brothers Cornmeal Financier cake at Grove restaurant was just named to New York Magazine's list of "101 of America's Most Crazy-Awesome New Desserts."
• MadCap Coffee won a national Good Food Award for its Los Lobos Costa Rican coffee.
