Food & Folklore Presents "Eating from the Garden"
MAY FOOD & FOLKLORE IS FRESH FROM THE GARDEN
Farm to Table DC's Oren Molovinsky Making Connections Between Farmers and Chefs
Southern food traditions have always celebrated the best of what's in season with the reminder that no one leaves the table without finishing their vegetables. Eatonville Restaurant's Food & Folklore gives vegetable lovers a reason to linger even longer for the May dinner event "Eating From the Garden" Tuesday, May 24 at 6:30 PM.
Guest "foodlorist" for the evening is Oren Molovinsky, co-founder of Farm to Table DC, which connects area chefs to products sourced and sold primarily in the region. Farm to Table DC was created by restaurateurs for restaurateurs and provides top quality products by connecting chefs to farmers.
DC has witnessed a renaissance of farmers markets, urban and regional sustainable farms, community gardens and cooperatives.
