Fresh ingredients are part of the dining experience at LCB. 🥖🍓🥒

Our chefs regularly look for fresh, high-quality ingredients and source locally when possible, whether that means visiting a farmers market, selecting seasonal produce or finding the right ingredients for an upcoming meal.

In this behind-the-scenes look, our culinary team visits a local farmers market to handpick ingredients for that evening’s dinner.

It’s just one example of how fresh ingredients make their way from the market to residents’ tables.
