HI, Chef Caroline here. We source almost our entire menu locally and mostly organic as possible. We make our own stock, soups, dressings and sauces in house and almost daily. We are in fact known for soups and our locavore salad as they are seasonal, change often and keep people coming back. If you have a question about the ingredients, try reaching out to us. You could ask your server while dining, give us a call or email us through the contact section of our website. We came up with the name Fiction Kitchen when we were doing pop-ups and did not have a commercial kitchen space. It also lends itself to the description of our Faux meats (fried "chicken" and waffles, Eastern NC style pulled "pork" etc). I am not sure what ingredients you are implying we would have used that were misleading to make something incredibly delicious? I think it is actually the way we layer flavors like while creating a soup, deglazing with different acids and using sachets to enhance and elevate flavor combinations. We also have a list of farms/local vendors on the chalkboard in the restaurant. Also with every farmer's plate and special we usually say where the ingredients are from (check our facebook and instagram pages). It takes a lot to source quality ingredients, including organic tofu and tempeh, local vegetables and to make everything in house like we do everyday. I don't understand questioning why something was so flavorful that it left an impression on your tastebuds and assuming it was not "authentic" and giving a negative score review based on that assumption even though it was unusually delicious? If you would like to know more about our ingredients, feel free to contact us from the contact page on our website or give us a call and ask for Chef Caroline. Until then, I will let this review remind me of how usually delicious our soups and salads are...that they made someone question their ingredients even. Regards, Chef Caroline Morrison/The Fiction Kitchen
