00:02 Okay, here's a little confession
00:10 from behind the scenes of the Northern Arizona Daily Mix.
00:13 This is where we, our crew, love to go for lunch.
00:16 We're obsessed with the local here in Prescott.
00:19 We kind of discovered it accidentally driving by
00:21 and we fell in love with it.
00:23 The food's incredible, it's colorful, it's gorgeous.
00:25 And so we asked Ellie to give us a little tour.
00:29 We're gonna show you guys some of the dishes they have here.
00:31 We're gonna show you some of the art.
00:33 But tell me how you came up with the concept for the local.
00:35 Well, you know, it's called the local for a reason.
00:39 We have a lot of people that are local.
00:42 A lot of people that eat local, they eat here
00:45 almost every day, and so we decided the local.
00:48 We have local artists, you name it.
00:52 Ingredients are almost always local when possible, right?
00:55 Oh my God, absolutely.
00:57 We do a lot of local outsourcing.
01:00 So down from our coffee to our jams to our artwork.
01:04 So we work a lot just with local,
01:07 a lot of amazing people, local artists.
01:10 And so that's why, it's another reason
01:11 why we're the local, you know?
01:13 Well, can we try some of your food?
01:15 You guys were kind enough to make some items back here.
01:18 Just a moment on the art.
01:19 I mean, look, I'm an animal person.
01:22 I love cats and dogs and cows.
01:25 And you've got all of those represented by David Palmer,
01:28 who's not only a local artist, but he's a customer.
01:31 You told me he comes here almost every day.
01:33 David Palmer is here almost every day.
01:35 He's an amazing artist.
01:37 We have other amazing artists as well.
01:39 They shower our place with this beautiful art.
01:44 It's a feast for the eyes as well as for the taste buds.
01:47 Absolutely.
01:48 That's how I felt the first time I came here.
01:49 I'm like, everywhere you look is something adorable,
01:52 kitschy, cute, colorful, funny.
01:54 And then, you know, I'm a vegetarian, so I appreciate it,
01:57 but you really have great selection for vegan,
02:00 gluten-free, and vegetarian.
02:02 Pretty much, we try to cater to all our dietary needs.
02:05 We do vegan, vegetarian, celiac-friendly.
02:09 So we do have a little bit of something for everybody
02:11 when we really mean that.
02:13 Let's talk through a few of these.
02:15 I think this is your Blissful Bites.
02:18 That's our Blissful Bites.
02:19 Okay, and this is vegan.
02:21 It is vegan.
02:22 The vegetables look so gorgeous, so fresh.
02:25 Well, that's because everything is fresh.
02:27 We do as much as fresh as we can.
02:31 We bake and cook as much as we can.
02:34 Speaking of bake, this is your special salad.
02:37 And this is a homemade biscuit.
02:40 We make those every day from scratch.
02:43 Everything's pretty much from scratch.
02:45 I know Kat is one of your bakers here,
02:47 and she makes some.
02:49 She's our cook.
02:50 She's your cook.
02:51 It's amazing.

03:26 So while I chew, I'm gonna need you to tell me
03:29 about this flight of mimosas.

03:57 Oh, this is great.
03:58 So your mix is local and organic as well?
04:01 Yes.
04:02 So even if you're drinking, which, you know--
04:04 Look, it's a splurge,
04:05 but you're still at least doing it organically.
