2009 Dinner Schedule

June- A Garlic Lovers Dream

June is the month  garlic is harvested, so there is a bit of excitement in the air.  This year we are honored to offer  garlic grown by one of my favorite farmer market vendors Joyce Chillingworth. Joyce bought a few varieties from us several years back and now is growing her own superb garlic. .Normally garlic harvested in June will cure for several weeks, but we just cannot wait to eat it. So we use this dinner as the perfect excuse to  celebrate  the "first tasting".  I'll be featuring my  favorite heirloom varieties in each course and each will be paired with a perfectly suited Oklahoma wine .  6pm  Cost $60.00

September- Native America

Enjoy this farm table dinner celebrating the deep richness of authentic Native American cuisine. I took great liberties with arranging the courses to modern times while still keeping with the traditional soul and spirit of the dish. For me this has been a deeply gratifying and enlightening opportunity of growth. Within each dish lies a history bound to the interdependence of the earth the elements and the daily struggles and strides that I now try to apply to my own life everyday. Bean bread, Charred pork posole, grape dumplings and more. This dinner sells out quickly so don't wait to make your reservation
