The Linkery was a farm-to-table restaurant in North Park, San Diego, California that specialized in natural meat, local food, fine wines, craft beer, and cask ale.[1] The restaurant's name referred to its daily-changing offerings of house-made sausages.[2]
The Linkery was founded in 2005 by Jay Porter, a former engineer and consultant for consumer electronics companies with no prior restaurant experience.[3] Porter was responsible for the restaurant's strict fixed-tipping policy, which angered other nearby establishments.[4]
Linkery's philosophy was based in part on the premise that "eating is an agricultural act," proposed by Wendell Berry in The Pleasures of Eating.[5]
As of July 15, 2013, The Linkery closed, and the location was re-sold to another company.[6]
