User:Beefyt/The Linkery

The Linkery is a farm-to-table restaurant in North Park, San Diego, California that specializes in natural meat, local food, fine wines, craft beer, and cask ale. The restaurant's name refers to their daily-changing offerings of house-made sausages.

The Linkery was founded in 2006 by Jay Porter, a former engineer and consultant for consumer electronics companies with no prior restaurant experience. Porter is responsible for the restaurant's strict no-tipping policy, which has angered other nearby establishments.

The Linkery's philosophy is based in part on the premise that "eating is an agricultural act," proposed by Wendell Berry in The Pleasures of Eating.
