Eating Local

To go along with my post, The Hunt for Made in America,  in believing that we should doing more locally, I have decided to attempt to eat as much as possible from local restaurants.  What do I consider local restaurants?   I am talking your one-of-a-kind greasy spoon diner, the neighborhood pizzaria,  a local watering hole, even the fancy-schmancy places on Mt. Washington.  What is not a local eaterie?  The on-every-corner fast food joint,  the why are you waiting for this uninspired cuisine you can get anywhere, and the filled-to-the-brim with chotchkies in an attempt to create an atmosphere.

I have started this with my wife about a month ago and we have done fairly well in sticking to it.  In that past month we have tried a few restaurants that we may not have tried otherwise and even become a regular at another.  I also hope that this will give me some more fodder for blogging. Is there anyone else out there up to the challenge?
