OWNERS AND CHEFS
The Columbia Originals exists to promote dining in local
independent area restaurants, to provide diners with a unique
local flavor and to raise awareness of independent restaurants
both locally and nationally.
Local restaurants like local bookstores, hardware stores,
and coffee shops support their communities. The dollars spent
in local restaurants stay in Columbia and local restaurants
support vital local charities. Passionate individuals develop
local restaurants. These individuals are driven by a desire
to offer something unique and exciting both to our local patrons
and to the guests who visit our city.
The Columbia Originals believe that a vibrant, independent
restaurant community makes our city a better place to live.
A vibrant local restaurant community increases a city’s
culinary and cultural strength. Columbia is a city with
a unique flavor, a flavor we can all be proud of. Local restaurants
ensure that this local flavor continues to be delivered. It
is our hope that you take a moment to think about this important
issue and support all those things that make Columbia unique,
a source of pride and, above all, a great city to live in.
Thank you,
The Columbia Originals
