A Healthy Dining Out Guide by Traveling Reporter

According to Holly, “There is no other resource out there that goes into such detail, on a national scale, in one compact product, of how to find real food raised right.™   In many cases, I state who the farmers are for a particular restaurant, and I give you links to their sites.  I tell you what dish at a particular restaurant is usually grassfed.  What’s organic.  What dishes to avoid, and what dishes to embrace.  This took years of personal research and vetting, and all the info is located in one handy-dandy little pdf file that you can download to your computer or smart phone.  Print out the entries you want reference, and keep Healthy Eats Here! on file, knowing that you’re saving trees.”

Healthy Eats Here! is more than 200 pages long and outlines, in detail, more than 200 high-quality restaurants from coast to coast.  And it doesn’t just list fine dining places:  far from it.  There are organic pizza parlors, pastured ice cream shops and grass-fed burger joints.  The listings span from Hawaii to Maine, including most major cities, and a number of minor ones, too!  Sample cities:  Albuquerque, Arlington (VA), Atlanta, Austin, Birmingham, Boulder, Charleston, Chicago, Cleveland, Columbus, Dallas, D.C., Denver, Fort Lauderdale, Houston, Honolulu, Indianapolis, Iowa City, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Maui, Miami, Minneapolis, New Orleans, New York, Oklahoma City, Orlando, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Portland (both of them), Raleigh/Durham, San Francisco, Santa Fe, Seattle, Tucson, Tulsa, etc.
