Farm to Table Dinner Update

Many thanks to all the folks who helped fill and clean the plates at R Bistro's two Farm to Table dinners last week. Proceeds from the dinners will help pay for the travel expenses of Slow Food Indy's delegates to Terra Madre in Torino, Italy, this fall. Chef Regina Mehallic of R Bistro is among Slow Food Indy's delegates headed to Terra Madre, and we're grateful for the generous support of Chef Mehallic, her staff, and all the patrons who feasted for the cause. (Local treats on the menu included a whole roasted goat!)

More Farm to Table Dinners are in the works!

On September 1, Chef Neal Brown will be doing a Farm to Table Dinner at L'Exploreteur in conjunction with Eat Local Week. Contact L'explorateur for more info and to make reservations.
