Is "farm to table" a myth?
You might have seen the remarkably thorough piece from the Tampa Bay Times that has gone viral, called "Farm to Fable."

Her piece has sparked conversation about so-called farm-to-table restaurants across the country.
We talk to Reiley about how she discovered the deceptions, and we talk to local chefs about how they communicate with their customers. Our guests:
