Field Studies: Farm to Table Dining with an Urban Backdrop

By on June 30, 2010 – No Comment

On Thursday, July 29th, Farm to Table dining takes a distinctly urban direction when Great Performances brings fresh-picked bounty to its Hudson Square back door. The renowned caterer will collaborate with neighbor City Winery to create an outdoor dining experience highlighted by local food and wines.

For the second summer, the highly anticipated Farm to Table Dining Series (http://www.greatperformances.com/farm/farm-table-dining-series) celebrates local ingredients and seasonal fare sourced from the best purveyors of produce, meats, cheeses and wine in the Hudson Valley region, including Great Performances¹ own Katchkie Farm. Great Performances will create the fresh and tasty menu and City Winery will pair the stimulating selection of wines crafted in their winery.

Tickets, $75, include a dinner of interactive tasting stations accompanied by musical entertainment. With fresh, organic ingredients served within 36 hours of their harvest, the menu is the synthesis of robust flavor and modern dining. Sources include Katchkie Farm, Roxbury Farm, Monkshood Nursery, and Little Seed Gardens for produce and meats from Meiller¹s Farm, Pigasso Farms, and High Hope Hogs.

Menu highlights include:

Open Pit Roasted Meiller’s Farm Hog, Salsa Roja
Served on Local Milled Corn Arepa, Katchkie Farm Tomato Pico de Gallo

Grilled Roxbury Farm Corn
New York State Butter, Dried Chili and Lime

Dayboat Fish Tacos
Seasonal Catch from Blue Moon Fish,
Cayuga Pure Organics Ground Wheat Tortilla, Flor’s Radish Escabeche

Blooming Hills Farm Black Bean Salad
Katchkie Farm Cilantro and Red Onions

House-Made Whole Wheat Churros
Cinnamon Sugar

Profits will fund the programs of The Sylvia Center, a nonprofit housed at
Katchkie Farm, dedicated to introducing children to the pleasures of
healthy, seasonal eating (www.sylviacenter.org).To purchase tickets, please

*Seasonal menus in nature are, of course, subject to Mother Nature.
