The Heritage Table

"If sustainability in food is important to you, then owner and chef Rich Vana’s menu is a must. Order the Whole Beast, a dish he created to move towards a minimal waste kitchen. It incorporates leftover pieces of proteins, noodles, and produce to make sure every part of the animal gets used, along with as much of everything else that works. The restaurant is located inside a historic house on Main Street, with window-lined walls and the bulk of the dining room feels like a closed-in porch. It gives off a homey feel that matches the food." - Courtney E. Smith

Chef and owner Rich Vana has been working towards his vision for years, and now is in a place with the menu to feature food from local farms and ranchers that he hand selects, and has created dishes that help him get the kitchen to create minimal waste. And it’s all incredibly tasty, and served in a gorgeous dining room inside a historic home." - Eater Staff
