As I’ve mentioned on here a few times in the past, I work (and occasionally attend as a guest) Plate & Pitchfork dinners throughout the summer. I love these events. It is such a fun experience getting to know the chefs and farmers behind your meal and enjoying a gorgeous summer evening with great food, wine and new friends.
The last dinner I worked a few weekends ago was definitely one of my favorites. It was an absolutely gorgeous setting, incredible food and wine, and really great people. It was the “culinary power couple” evening with the Crown Paella team Scott and Emily Ketterman, Bow & Arrow winemakers Dana and Scott Frank and Viridian Farms owners Leslie and Manuel Recio, all working with their respective spouses. All three couples are fun and engaging to listen to. It was so great hearing their stories of how they have blended their joint creativity and talents to create amazing culinary products.
