Foodie and the Beast Talk Founding Farmers Tysons

Sunday, February 1st, 2015 Co-Owner Dan Simons and Chef Joe Goetze were invited to chat about our NEW location with Foodie and the Beast host Nycci Nellis.

We didn’t waste any time getting right into what everyone loves most: FOOD! Chef Joe didn’t disappoint as he showed up with a delicious preview of treats from Founding Farmers Tysons, bringing the delicious pastry creme filled Jefferson Donut.

While Chef Joe covered the food, flavors, and menu in our Virginia store, Dan shed some light on the relationship Farmers Restaurant Group has with farmers, our supply chain and how it operates on such a large scale, and of course our farmer owners at the North Dakota Farmers Union.

With Founding Farmers Tysons being our biggest restaurant yet, it was challenging to describe on-air, without photos, all of the “micro-climates” that have been worked into the design and detail so beautifully. Dan touched on a key design point that FF Tysons is built to look like a modern Virginia farmhouse, complete with pantry, living room, kitchen, bedroom, dining room, and of course a barn (which houses the bar).

With all the great food and drink, and beautiful decor, we offer something for everyone. Listen to the live interview with Dan and Chef Joe here.
