Parigi has gone green with water, installing a new filtration system that eliminates the bottled variety. That goes for sparkling as well as still. The Natura system comes complete with reusable glass bottles, so there are environmental savings on both ends. Water doesn't travel here from far-away places like France or Fiji, and there's no glass or plastic trash to contend with. All this, for $1 a bottle. You'll also see that Chad Houser is back in the kitchen. He's returned to the Oak Lawn restaurant as a full partner. I don't know about you, but I always order "local" water these days. Dallas has some of the best-tasting municipal water in the country (just try Orlando's to taste the difference - yuck), and it's a small step toward a healthier planet. |

Agreed on the water taste here, as long as you're talking Dallas proper. Go up to Richardson, Garland or anywhere in Collin County, and you get a lovely mouthful of algae most summers. Ick!
