At Cornerstone Restaurant in Pawling, N.Y., Chef Harris Mayer’s hyper-local, farm-to-table menu places area farms center stage. With over 20 farms named on ‘No Farms, No Food’ table-top cards, Cornerstone proves farmers are the real rockstars + Pawling is worth the drive. Plus, we think they may have the best Black Dirt onion rings ever.
