Farm to table restaurants are sure to serve up flavorful, fresh meals featuring seasonal fruits and vegetables. It’s not every day, though, that you find a restaurant serving farm fresh tortillas! That is, unless you’re in downtown Mobile. Rooster’s owner Frankie Little has always been committed to serving fresh tortillas for the store’s street tacos. Recently, he’s taken it a step further, by sourcing local corn from a farm and mill and using another local business to make the tortillas. See the whole food chain from Bayou Cora Farms to E & H Tortilleria to Rooster’s!
