“At The Chef’s Garden, there is a profound sense of importance surrounding Chef Charlie Trotter and his impact—not just on the farm, but on the entire culinary world,” said Simpson who worked to help Dylan Totter reopen the Charlie Trotter’s restaurant space. “A chef serving vegetarian tasting menus in the early 90s was incredibly progressive. He changed the way we eat, and we still use little techniques of his every single day in our kitchen.
