Sustainable dining in Northern Virginia

Even though I live in Maryland, I want to cover NoVa and DC, too. So hear's a tidbit for the Virginia audience:

Northern Virginia Magazine recently published a story reviewing five "sustainable" restaurants -- sustainable because they employ seasonal cooking, local ingredients and respect for the environment.

The restaurants range in location from Alexandria to Upperville. One might seem surprising: Chipotle. Yes, this take-out burrito fave brags that 30 percent of its beans are organic, all of its chicken and pork are "naturally raised," and 50 percent of its beef is "naturally raised."

I think naturally-raised means not quite organic, but better than industrial-feedlot grown.
