To green or not to green, is it local the question?

Whats up guys !!

So, lately everybody is talking about being sustainable, being green, buying local, and ok that is good but let me tell you i think is a bunch of bull⩈✘✰☮.  Some of you that say ( oh i have so much passion for the food, cooking is my life ) bla bla bla . Listen if you own a restaurant, you are in it to make money, because if you wouldn't  want to make money you'll still be working as a line cook in a chilis or something. I get that buying local is good, not just for you, but for the local business as well, but sometimes buying local can get to be expensive  for a restaurant and the cost of that will affect your business, the food cost goes up then your prices go up and no one will want to go to your restaurant because is expensive. Instead, why not try cooking with some feeling. Sometimes you see all this Tv shows that show you all the food that other country's cook, and sometimes you see that, the ways they cook and the ingredients they use are not the best, but still the food is pretty darn good. What im trying to say is that in order to cook good food you dont have to have the finest ingredients, you just have to care about the food. If you don't believe me just ask Eva from the blog ( Freir un huevo ) and she will  tell you the truth, she is not a trained chef, and she can cook better than most of the people that I know.

So with that said. Don't believe all you see on tv and buy the ingredients that you want, just have fun and your food will taste good, trust me.
