Clara Moore has realized one of her most sought after dreams at her current job with Local Harvest in St Louis -- supporting local farmers, serving seasonal foods and creating a sustainable food community. Born and raised in the industry, Clara has worked at a wide variety of restaurants since the age of 15 -- from a 24 hour diner to haute cuisine - and enjoys her 30-seat casual cafe the most. She finds food to be the single most important political, domestic, and public issue and loves the opportunity to meld her passion with her values. Clara finds traditional cuisines the most interesting and hopes to continue travelling the world and eating street food everywhere she lands.
