Farm to Fabulous – Chef’s tasting
From our guest chef: Monica Riedel
Saturday night, July 18, the Farm to Fabulous Chef’s tasting was held. It was a great time! I had the pleasure of meeting so many local farmers and food producers, and utilizing their extraordinary offerings throughout the menu. In the first course the roast beets were sublime, and the salad featured not only greens and vegetables from various growers, but was topped off with an ethereal goats cheese feta from the Drake Family Farm. The beef was raised right up the road in Lehi, and was beautiful. We brought out the steak knives, and none were needed! I was especially excited about the surprise course the “Amuse Busch” if you will, was the first pick of Mitchell’s corn, served with a lemon herb butter, so yummy! We finished with a simple little Panna Cotta topped with a compote of apricots, picked that morning. It was so nice to visit with our guests between courses, and I was fueled by their enthusiasm to hear the stories about the food, and where it all came from. This week I have an opportunity to make cheese at a local creamery. I’m so excited. Watch for their cheese in the up coming menus, and I will fill you in on all the details soon.
