Autumn Feast: Moving Foods

(how our cuisine came to be here and who brought it)

Nothing moves us like a great meal with good friends, and this Fall Slow
Food Feast of Fools and Friends will certainly do that... but we're going
beyond the convivial pleasure of this great dinner to explore where the
ingredients came from, not just the local farms, but where did these
delightful foods originate? Who brought them to California and when, and how
were those people treated? How has the migration of foods and peoples shaped
our much-beloved California cuisine? Our Feast will nourish you while
stimulating your palate, regale you with stories and introduce you to
farmers both local and from our historic past...

We are delighted to announce that performance artists Guillermo Gomez-Peña
and Violeta Luna will be on hand to enhance our dining experience with their
profound and sometimes uproarious talents. We also have Willow Rosenthal of
Oakland's City Slicker Farms lined up to speak, and much more still in the
pipeline.

We're working on a menu that emerges from amazing Mexican ideas combined
with our locally harvested fresh foods to bring you a hybrid cultural feast
you will never forget! The working menu (subject to change and additions) is
here:


   - San Francisco's own Anchor Steam beer (if you want wine feel free to
   byob)
   - Corn Pizzettas with cilantro dazzle, cherry tomatoes, chipotle black
   beans, cotija cheese.
   - Arugula salad with roasted delicata squash wheels with roasted
   spiced pumpkin seeds, pomegranate seeds with a pomegranate dressing.
   - Roasted heirloom tomato soup with crispy tortilla strips and cotija
   cheese.
   - (meat) Short ribs with a chili guajillo sauce or
   - (vegetarian) Chiles Rellenos with chili guajillo sauce
   - Organic, locally grown Apple pie with local organic whipped cream.
   - Plum wine or Hard cider.
