After a bit of a hectic travel, moving and personal
schedule, I’m very excited to finally be getting caught up on things I’ve been
meaning to read and write about. That includes something from an old issue of
Vogue called Outstanding in the Field.
The company’s issue is to ”… re-connect diners to the
land and the origins of their food, and to honor the local farmers and food
artisans who cultivate it.”
Outstanding in the Field is a roving culinary adventure.
This group takes long tables and sets them up on mountains, gardens, farms,
islands or ranches. Then the theme of the dinner is to honor the people that
farmed the food and almost all ingredients are local.
Guests tour the farm and mingle and then once the meal is
prepared, the farmers, chefs and foodies sit down and enjoy the meal!
The schedule and
tickets to the meals are released on March 20th (the first day of
spring) and cost around $180 per person (not including tax). The cost includes
wine, passed apps, four seated courses with wine pairing and all gratuities.
The producer discussions and a tour of the farm is also included.
If a tour comes by near you, I would recommend checking
it out (it’s now on my 2012 to do list). From what I’ve read, it looks like an extremely
cool culinary experience and an opportunity to meet some new foodie friends.
