The Benefits of Plant Based Eating

The Night Before Christmas

El Jefe Article by Monty Montgomery “Farm-to-table,” similarly to the term “organic,” may come off as another branded excuse to boost a price tag. But this couldn’t be further from the truth. After all, it’s tough to complain about locally-sourced meat, fruits, and vegetables, served on the menu of a restaurant right around the corner. This locality is exactly what you get at El Jefe, combined with traditional coastal Mexican recipes and the atmosphere to match. El Jefe is part of The Mighty...
