Prosser Farm lettuce by Katie O, Tom’s assistant
When you love food and you’re in the restaurant world, there are small pleasures to be found around every turn. Today, while making my morning coffee, I walked past the large Palace Kitchen prep table and saw that it was strewn with beautiful lettuces plucked fresh from Tom and Jackie’s farm in Prosser, WA. Mounds of Tom Thumb baby bibb lettuce, golden chard, beet greens and red fire leaf lettuce, with their tender roots still intact, had just been freshly washed and sorted for the restaurants. Everyone has their therapeutic outlets- sometimes it’s being out in nature, or excercise, or reading, or a whole host of other things… for me it’s being around food that’s been thoughtfully cared for.
