SEASONAL FEASTS - FARM TABLE
DINNER
Hosted by Les Dames
d’Escoffier and Urban Harvest
Celebrating community
with locally-grown food
The first Farm Table Dinner will be held on Monday, January 28, 2008, at 6:30 pm
at Tiny Boxwood’s, the new café at Thompson & Hanson garden center, located
at 3614 W. Alabama at Saint Street. Baron
Doke, the café’s chef, will prepare a seasonal feast with ingredients
from the local growers from the Bayou City Farmers Market. Texas wines, chosen to complement the meal,
will be served.
Eating locally-grown food requires a shift in the thinking
of cooks as well as diners, and the organizers fondly hope that these shared
meals will help us make that shift. The
supper will be served family style, at communal tables, so that we may enjoy
the pleasures of the table as well as conversation with our friends and
neighbors. Tiny Boxwood’s can accommodate about 45 people, so we look forward
to an intimate evening. Local farmers and producers will share our meal so that
we diners can appreciate the sources of our food.
Proceeds from the dinners will benefit the Les Dames
d’Escoffier Culinary Scholarship program and Bayou City Farmers Market. Urban
Harvest and Les Dames d’Escoffier plan to offer these farm dinners in January,
April, June, and November.
