Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
Most crop these days are grown for quantity, some even are genetically modified to grow larger and faster in order to maintain the demands of the population.
What if you grow the crop for taste? You know how some apples taste better, some grapes are more sweet and some more sour. What if you grow and bred only for taste and not for quantity?
There are restaurants who do that. Dan Barber's Blue Hill Farm in New York is one of them, the restaurant has its own farm, it grows and breed animals for tastes.
That sounds like an excellent karmic reward for doing your civic duty
I used to eat in quite a few fancy restaurants in Knightsbridge/Kensington/Chelsea, the food was nice but worth nowhere near what we paid for it. I always preferred to eat at the pub round the corner which had tendencies towards being foodie but managed to hold itself back.
The, for want of a better word, poncification of food is appalling.

There are places of all budgets (I don't generally feel comfortable in places charging £100 a head myself) which are good and bad. Often the chef is the decider for me. If they are passionate about the food it usually shows in several ways, I am happy to indulge myself sometimes. If the quality of food is reheated splodge then I expect fast service and low cost. Polite service is always reciprocated and indeed I will continue to be polite even if the serving staff are clearly not, Just because they are wankers doesn't mean I have to act like one.
