I would go for price, more so for a daily or couple times a week meal in a small rural restaurant.As consumers, and human beings that have to eat, what do you think of the issue of locally sourced ingredients? If you were to go to a small restaurant in a rural town, or a small restaurant in your own local community, would you find it more appealing if the ingredients of your food were sourced from local farmers and markets, or would it not matter to you so long as it tastes good?
As long as the taste is there is all I care.
If I am out to dinner which is a weekly treat for us, in a more expensive restaurant, even a chain like BoneFish Grill I wouldn't mind once a month paying extra for something locally sourced IF it tasted better but the thing is, I dont know how I would verify its local other then trusting someones word selling me something, which means I still most likely would not be happy because I am not sure I would trust it.
