On a recent weekend getaway to Yountville and Inverness, we stopped for breakfast at the Fremont Diner in Sonoma. From the outside, it looks like an old-timey roadside diner. But inside, it's a modern practitioner of sustainable cooking, using farm-fresh ingredients, whole-hog cooking, and local produce.

I think the diner may even have its own farm, and I spied chickens milling about the picnic table area. That didn't stop us from ordering the special "snack" sandwich featuring fried chicken and pickles on a grilled bun. We were too stuffed from breakfast to eat it right away, so Andrew carried it around in his pocket for a few hours. (It's like the little slider was designed for a pocket!) Even after its long journey, it tasted outstanding.
