If the rollicking success of Boca’s Farmer’s Table has shown anything, it’s that there’s a huge local market for good food that’s also good for you.

It’s a lesson that’s not lost on Gary Rack, who tomorrow will shut down his Table 42 in Royal Palm Place with plans to reopen in mid-November asFarmhouse Kitchen, a restaurant whose mantra is “just good food.” Or as Rack puts it, “better-for-you foods that leave you happily satisfied while not guilty.”

Rack’s exec chef Matthew Danaher is crafting the menu, details of which are still sketchy but will hew to the fresh, local, sustainable, healthy ethos that has fueled much of Farmer’s Table’s popularity. Design of the space is being redone too, giving it a homier, more countrified look with honeycomb-style light fixtures and walls decorated with mason jars.

There’s lots more info to come, and you’ll get it as soon as I do.
