It's confirmed: downtown's über-local cafe, Daily Dose, will open this Thursday, April 28th, after years of planning and months of delays. The downtown cafe is so committed to the locavore ethos you can actually get a “Save The Children”-esque dossier on the cow from whence your burger came. Wait, that's just a sketch on Portlandia.

However, co-owner Sarkis Vartanian and chef Christian Page's near-Maoist determination to move beyond “local” and go “fully traceable” is admirable. The turkey meatball sub we sampled last week at Artisanal LA was also pretty damn good.
