organic anthem?

so it looks like greasy spoon is going to be relocating upstate, to more "polished silver" digs (hidden outdoor webcams are very useful things).

now anthem is not exactly on any culinary maps whatsoever, but i'm hoping that one upcoming new spot looks promising: brian ford is bringing his fresh organic fare from his farm at south mountain days to the city with madelyn's restaurant (named after his daughter, cute)

we're trying to figure out why the dining options up in anthem are so sparse... is square footage too spendy? is the country club really all that good? are there so many building restrictions that we just can't find the good restaurants that are already there? ford is the first chef to venture into that territory, and hats off - it will be a huge change from the gardens at the farm to the approved-shade-of-brown-stucco strip mall.
