Our quality gets better and better

Gonul is constantly seeking the best sources for food supplies. Cooking skills may be important, but starting with the best products is essential. For years she has sought out the best grocery products at local farmer's markets and from local farms. For her meat sources, she now uses Niman Ranch primarily for lamb, Durham Ranch for chicken and Chef John Paul Khoury for beef, pork and as a secondary supplier of lamb and chicken. Chef John Paul contracts with many local premium farms to supply these products and she is proud to be doing business with him.
