Spotlight: Outstanding in the Field Dinners

Spotlight: Outstanding in the Field Dinners

posted by Mighty Staff

Some of the best meals in life are those enjoyed between soil and sky. Such is the case at an Outstanding in the Field dinner. Just under ten years ago chef Jim Denevan began producing dinners at organic farms near Santa Cruz, California. The idea: dine at the source of amazing ingredients, in the presence of the farmers who nourished the crops.

The OITF team has since taken the show on the road and staged dinners from coast to coast. If you are lucky enough to have a dinner scheduled near you, don't miss out. The price of the dinners range from $150 to $200 per person, which includes a five course meal with wine pairings, all gratuities, producer discussions, and a tour of the farm. Prices are determined based on location remoteness, the chef’s menu, producers’ needs, necessary staffing, and total size of the event.

What about vegetarians? Good news. Each dinner features a range of local food artisan as well as ingredients. Everything is served family-style and vegetarians can be easily accommodated.
