MRUA&sysid=1> From farms to feasts
Farm to table - the concept of using as many locally grown ingredients as possible for a meal - is
carving out a spot in Midtown this month. The restaurant Ludivine is scheduled to open in mid
September in the Midtown Village area at Seventh and Hudson. The restaurant's menu is anything but
static - as Ludivine's chefs scour Oklahoma's family-owned farms and ranches for ingredients, the
meals will vary according to what they find. "Rather than having an idea of the dishes you want to
do, then trying to find the ingredients to fulfill that, you just take what's available from the
farms, look and see what you have, then write the menu based on that," said Russ Johnson, owner and
chef. "The menu will vary a lot from week to week, and dramatically from season to season," he said.
"Knowing where your food comes from and knowing the people who produce it - knowing what goes into
it and what doesn't go into it - is really nice. It's something we've lost nowadays. People don't
know a lot where their food comes from, and it's fun to try to change it."
