Each year the prominent foodie magazines come out with articles on the new ‘fab’ and favorite foods for the coming year. This year I think it would be Healthy Fusion or, as I like to say at The Love Dog, Organic, Original and Outrageous! Creatively blending foods, techniques and ‘spices’ from other cultures that eat a lot lower on the food chain than most of us, and using the ‘cleanest’ organic ingredients possible. As folks become more educated on the subject of food and how what they eat affects their bodies, pressure is put on food providers to step up to the plate (ha ha) and serve what customers want to eat. At theLove Dog we have done just that in a bigger way than ever.
We are now nearly 90% organic! and as local as our suppliers allow us to be. We buy from local growers, both vegetables and meat products, reaching into the Skagit Valley when we need to to find what we want. Our portions have changed too, with more vegetables and fruits and less starch, many more gluten free, sugar free, dairy free and vegetarian options. The Carnivores are not being left out! for you, we serve more veggies with your entree to balance your meal and bring the highest quality meats into our kitchen.
I have become an enthusiastic student of Kathy Abascal, noted biochemist and herbalist from Vashon Island, and her To Quiet Inflammation Diet that is helping people heal from lifelong body issues. This information has helped to diversify our menu. With my love of ethnic foods I have coined the term Healthy Fusion for the food that catches my passion at the moment.Come in and see what we are offering in our nightly specials, enjoy the quiet of this season,and help us stay open to serve you!
