How do you go out of your way to support snaller businesses?

To cut down eating out in general I've tried limiting myself to local restaurants. My rules are that if I want to eat out that's fine but I have to want it enough to 1) get my fat ass out of the house to go get it and 2) go to a local place.

If I'm going to eat something bad for me I might as well pay a bit more for something more local that tastes better.
