Wednesday, September 26, 7:30 pm – Chefs as Catalyst Connectors in Our Complicated Food World

by

Vittorio Ettore (Bistro 5 & A Tavola), Frank McClelland (L’Espalier), Lori Deliso (Kid’s Cooking Green & Dave’s Fresh Pasta) will speak at Wright-Locke Farm on Chefs as Catalyst Connectors in Our Complicated Food World. Join us for a panel discussion with local chefs who have been making strides to reconnect people with the food they eat and the landscapes and people that are behind those meals. What is the role of a chef in this complicated time that we live in? How do they inspire and teach? How are chefs working within our local food systems? Where do the see their greatest impact? These are some of the questions that we’ll be asking our Chef Panel. Make sure to bring your own questions to ask, too!

The session will be held at 7:30 at Wright-Locke Farm in Winchester on Wednesday, September 26 in our beautiful 1827 Barn, and will be followed up with a Q&A session. We will also offer a casual supper before each presentation. For more details, check out our website, http://wlfarm.org, or to RSVP, email Kim Kneeland at kkneeland@wlfarm.org.
