Andrew Zimmern,a three-time James Beard Award-winning TV personality, chef, food writer, and teacher has
dubbed Winona’s Nosh Scratch Kitchen as one of his favorite farm-to-table restaurants in the state. “There are a few spots across the state that do an especially great job working directly with farmers to source local ingredients,” he said.
Zimmern writes, “NOSH Scratch Kitchen offers elegant dining closely tied to nearby southeastern Minnesota and western Wisconsin farms. Seasonality informs chef Greg Jaworski’s menu, and nearly all proteins originate within two hours of the restaurant.”
