~ feat. Chef Nathan and Sarah

Chef Nathan and Chef Sarah own both Foreign and Domestic, a nose-to-tail and farm-to-table experience, as well as Lockhart's favorite small town big flavor restaurant, Commerce Cafe.

When it comes to creativity here, we push the limits quite a bit at Foreign and Domestic, and I think it's really good to have a grounding here at Commerce Cafe… Sometimes it's good to take it back to simple techniques, relearn them, rehash them out, and make sure you've got them fine tuned. As a chef, I think that's really important.
