our community

I truly believe, as chefs, that we and society are interdependent. Therefore a chef's behavior as an individual and as a participant in society is inseparable. We must be committed to as much community involvement and as many local activities as possible. Giving back to the community is essential to the sustainability of the community itself. Our commitment to the local farmers, artisans, and suppliers is central to our philosophy because our commitment is to thoroughly satisfy our guests with fresh experiences.

- Scott Anderson, Chef

This one's a no-brainer. Book the chef's table at elements. Make sure Joe Sparatta, the sous chef is going to be there and his lovely wife, Emilia, who is the sommelier. Tucked away from the rest of the restaurant, the chef's table (there are actually two) is situated in its own nook with a full view of the open kitchen, which our writer, Pat Tanner, says runs like a well-oiled machine. read the complete article online here.
