WHY IT’S COOL: Long before the farm-to-table and sustainability movements became marketing catchphrases, Odessa Piper was a disciple, and her beautiful, clean food at L’Etoile was nationally praised. After 30 years, she sold the restaurant to chef de cuisine Tory Miller. He has embraced and maintained Piper’s passion, which saturates all of Deja Food’s restaurants. Those who want to eat well, eat with this group.
