628387 Tue Jun 16 07:54:39 -0700 2009 8 14 Washington DC & Baltimore Area 0 4777308 Looking for Annapolis area restaurants that have ORGANIC menu items, not just ingredients, but complete lunch or dinner plated fare. A friend of mine has cancer and is going the holistic route and is depressed that she " can't " go out with her friends and eat organically. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated . Tue Jun 16 07:54:39 -0700 2009 17831 3MTA3 1 4777378 Is your friend looking for a certified organic restaurant? Because I don't think they exist.

Tue Jun 16 08:43:33 -0700 2009 4777308 51422 Jeserf 2 4777832 I don't know about this. I'd be interested to know if they use all organic spices, etc. Tue Jun 16 09:50:46 -0700 2009 4777536 18011 Jacey 3 4777975 it is dubbed America's first certified organic restaurant. Certified Organic is not 100% organic. Tue Jun 16 10:20:35 -0700 2009 4777832 51422 Jeserf 4 4778370 Organic To Go is also certified organic (again that doesn't necassarily mean it is 100% organic, but you will be hard pressed to find such a place. I think certified should be pretty good). I don't know if they have a restaurant in Annapolis, but I know they have one in Bethesda and in various spots in DC. Would be a good place to go for lunch. Tue Jun 16 11:59:32 -0700 2009 4777975 76776 Elyssa 5 4778403 In order to be 'certified' organic, the requirement is 95% organic products in the food. Nora uses organic cotton in the linens and stuff like that, so maybe that negates the possible 5% of food that isn't certified! Tue Jun 16 12:10:23 -0700 2009 4778370 51422 Jeserf 6 4778861 I haven't been to Nora's in quite a while. However, in the days when we used to go regularly, the menu was very clear that certain foods like fish and shellfish couldn't be certified organic. The menu would include some descriptive text about the source of such food (e.g. day boat scallops) but they made no claim about its being organic. This isn't the question that you asked, but Occasions Caterers is a certified organic caterer. Perhaps your group could arrange an event that includes your friend and have Occasions do the catering. (FYI, a friend and I recently used Occasions services and we were pleased with the food and the service. Catered food is never quite the equal of freshly prepared restaurant food, but Occasions recipes were much, much tastier than many catered meals I've eaten..)

Inventive food and drinks. http://www.great-sage.com/ Tue Jun 16 14:05:57 -0700 2009 4777308 92562 ericb
