Eugene pays homage to those who grow the local produce they use right on the menu. The list typically includes around two dozen farms, dairies, and even elementary school gardens, and pays tribute to the ingredients by altering them as little as possible while making everything in the kitchen from scratch. Named as one of Food and Wine's Best Chefs of 2009, Linton Hopkins offers refined dishes, such as his wild mushroom tasting plate, that come from the ingenuously rustic roots he describes as "folkways meeting Escoffier." — Jess Kapadia, 2/18/11

Linton takes farm fresh food to a new level. Linton Hopkin’s is the wise Buddha of new southern food. Go sit at the bar and get a bunch of small plates to share. -Eli Kirshtein, Top Chef

The Vegetable plate takes the best fresh veggies of the day, cooks each one to bring out its absolute best, then piles them high in a skillet of garden delight.

Chef & co-owner Linton Hopkins didn’t become a 2011 JBF finalist for the best chef in the Southeast for no reason. Hopkins redefines Southern cuisine while keeping its tastes & ingredients authentic.

The Sunday Supper is a must-do. Tasting menu (with fried chicken!) is about $35.

The Sunday night fried chicken could easily become your weekly ritual, but that's no reason not to order (in addition) the truffle farm egg. Now it's just about which comes first.

While the food is creative and well thought out, the execution is lacking mainly in the form of temperature. Several dishes were not at the desired temps from starters to mains to deserts.

Vegetables deserve respect and at Restaurant Eugene they get it. Order the vegetable tasting and cross it off your list of CL's 100 dishes to eat before you die.

Seared to a perfect medium rare in an iron skillet, the sliced duck breast is so mouth-watering delicious we couldn't help but include it on the 100 Dishes to eat before you die.

Good food, but way to pricey for what you get. Beware.

The menu changes with the local provender, and Hopkins and his chef de cuisine Jason Paolini aren’t afraid to take chances so go often.
