Farm to Fork Dinner
At Lake Forest Place on Saturday August 29th we hosted our chefs table dinner. It was a 8 course "Farm to Fork" themed dinner for 13 residents. We went to the local farmers market Saturday morning and picked out the product we wanted to use. We created our menu based solely on what we purchased at the market. It was an amazing experience creating dishes from the fresh produce. All the produce was sourced from farms no more than 50 mile away and the proteins were no more than 100 miles away. It was a very successful night. Special thanks all the Chefs for making such a memorable night for the residents.
