SHARE

 

 

 

On Tuesday, September 10, Outstanding in the Field returns to EECO Farm in East Hampton for a feast in the field prepared by guest chef Jason Weiner of Almond. And there are still seats available! Outstanding in the Field is the coolest concept~ a roving restaurant without walls that travels around North America to stage dining events literally at the source, introducing guests to the farmers and food artisans who provide the ingredients for the meal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Outstanding in the Field’s vintage red bus will soon be rolling out to Long Island, stocked with all the accoutrements for a fabulous farm feast. The pioneering farm-dinner series that has inspired pop-up supper clubs across North America and around the world will stage a dining event set between the soil and sky at EECO Farm. The multi-course meal will be prepared in the field by guest chef Jason Weiner and his kitchen crew from Almond, paired with wines from Channing Daughters Winery.

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Jason Weiner and Outstanding in the Field go way back,” said OITF founding chef and artist Jim Denevan. “We’ve done six events with Almond and can’t wait to see Jason and his team each summer. They always create a deliciously exciting menu. And EECO Farm’s gorgeous fields provide a charming setting for our table.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Outstanding in the Field outdoor dining events places loooong signature table at country farms and ranches, in urban gardens and sea caves, on mountaintops and sandy beaches. Wherever it goes, OITF’s mission is the same: To re-connect diners to the land and the origins of their food and introduce them to the local farmers and food artisans whose good work brings nourishment to the table. Ingredients for the meals are often sourced within inches of diners’ seats. After a tour of the host site, everyone settles in: farmers, ranchers, fishermen, food artisans and guests serving each other at the communal table.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Since 1999, when Denevan hosted his first farm dinner in his hometown of Santa Cruz, California, Outstanding in the Field’s culinary caravan has staged more than 400 events, welcoming nearly 50,000 guests for feasts in the U.S. and Canada as well as Europe and South America. Events start with a glass of wine and welcome hors d’oeuvres, followed by a tour of the host farm and a four-course meal paired with wines. Ticket price for the September 10 event is $220 per person, all inclusive. The event starts at 3pm.
