Must try: Fried chicken Egg Waffles, Stuffed French Toast, Fresh squeezed juices
Founding Farmers is an eco-friendly, Certified Green Restaurant that was built from recycled and reclaimed products. This upscale, farmhouse styled eatery is housed within the International Monetary Fund (IMF) building.
At Founding Farmers, the menu offers American classics made from locally sourced and sustainably farmed products. The food here is very good. The freshness of the ingredients used reflects in the exquisite taste of their dishes. You must try their fresh juices the cranberry was really zesty.
However for me the spot lacked soul. Everything from the service to the space seems cold and distant which didn’t gel with all its wonderful methodology. Everything seemed too pristine.
I found that Founding Farmers is more a chic farmhouse accented restaurant that is just green enough for the suit types. For me, I would rather go hang at a more bohemian space like Busboys and Poets where the essence enfolds the place.
Here is some of what we ate:
Crabs Cake Eggs Benedict
Fried Chicken, Eggs and Waffles
Stuffed French Toast
Farmhouse Waffles
Pastrami Hash
Farmers Lemonade
