Frontera and Greg Gunthorp in Chicago Magazine – "Although Bayless doesn't toot this particular horn very much, Chicago chefs consider him a leader in the use of local food and support of local farmers. In high season, Bayless estimates, about 85 percent of what he serves is grown within a five- or six-hour drive of Chicago. His Frontera Farmer Foundation, now in its fifth year, has made grants of more than $350,000 to help local farmers buy equipment, develop marketing channels, and extend their growing seasons." - Mike Lenehan, Chicago Magazine, June 2008
