Watertable Restaurant and Slow Food Baltimore are partnering to kick off Slow Food?s “Eat in Season Challenge.” The restaurant will begin the metrowide campaign with a five-course local Farmstead Dinner, paired with Maryland wines, on Tuesday at 6:30 p.m.
The dinner signals the start of a Slow Food effort to invite a different restaurant each month to offer a weeklong, fixed-price
menu based on locally sourced foods.
“People don?t realize the tremendous variety and quality of foods drawn from Maryland farms and waters,” Watertable chef Garrett Gooch said. “That?s what Watertable is all about. We serve as many locally sourced items as we can, year-round.”
Speaking at the dinner will be local farmers and vintners from Springfield Farms, Roseda Beef, Chapel Country Creamery, Woodhall Winery, Ivy Brand Farm and more. The menu will feature produce and meats from these and other growers, including Gunpowder Bison, Marvesta Shrimp Farms, South Mountain Creamery and Basignani Winery.
Next month?s dinner week will be held from June 17 to 22 at the Brass Elephant, located at 924 N. Charles St. in Baltimore.
