With the globalization of food, the US culinary landscape has evolved into a melting pot, featuring diverse flavors and ingredients from around the world. This shift has sparked a growing interest in natural foods, as consumers increasingly seek healthier and more sustainable options. At Chortke, we strive to elevate American dishes by incorporating influences from various cultures and embracing natural ingredients sourced both locally and internationally. We prioritize sourcing the majority of our products from local farmers and specialty stores to create artisanal foods that cater to the demand for quality and authenticity. As a result, Chortke pledges to facilitate these transformations, leading to a shift in the food scene in Rochester, New York towards a more comprehensive and environmentally conscious dining experience.
