Finding fresh food locally can seem like a big undertaking, so we talked to chef Daniel Orr about his favorite items to look for and where to go foraging for them.

Items range from Midwestern chow chow at The Loft to curried broiled salmon at FARM Bloomington to oysters Rockefeller at Weber Grill.

Chef Daniel Orr of FARMbloomington is taking his successful restaurant concept to Columbus, hoping to open this time next year. Like its Bloomington counterpart, FARMbrew (4501 S. Lindsey St., Columbus) will focus on local ingredients, but there will also be a “global influence,” says FARM’s general manager Harry Shafer. The family-friendly environment will have separate entities for food and brew. Food will include burgers, naan bread pizzas, gourmet hotdogs, and global street food. Brews will range from local craft beers to ethnic specials to seasonal brews.
