A Big FUSS

Artisan Kitchens & Baths
Buffalo, NY

A Big FUSS is a new, annual event designed to raise funds for a local farmer in need.

TICKETS WILL BE AVAILABLE AT THE DOOR.

While WNY is home to over 7,500 farms, very few of those farms sell their product directly to the consumer, and fewer still go to the trouble of becoming suppliers to Buffalo's restaurants. Those who do have proven to be dedicated and talented folks, ensuring that Buffalonians enjoy fresh-from-the-farm veggies, meats, and eggs while dining at Buffalo's finest establishments.

Several local restaurants have embraced the local food movement and offer their guests delicious menu items featuring sustainably raised food year round.

Over the last few years, chefs have donated their efforts to a variety of causes connected to Buffalo's burgeoning local food scene, but none may be more important than lending aid to a small farm that is one of their chief suppliers.

Join us on February 8th as we come together over good food and drink to celebrate and support the beautiful bounty of WNY and those responsible for it.

Chefs include:

Chef/Owner Steven Gedra of Bistro Europa in Buffalo
Chef/Owner Adam Goetz of Sample in Buffalo
Chef/Owner Jim Guarino of Shango Bistro in Buffalo

Food from each chef and participant, a cash bar (with all profits going to our farmer friend), and an auction should help us raise enough funds to put this farmer in a good spot. So, come commune with fellow foodies, chefs, and farmers from OUR WNY ... it's going to be A Big FUSS!
