Dinner Afield: A Taste of Buffalo's Bounty (Back to events)
- Sun, Oct 5th 2008, 4:30pm
- Located at : Delaware Park, Buffalo NY
Join Feed Your Soul and Buffalo Olmsted Parks Conservancy for this special, once-in-a-lifetime lakeside dinner event featuring the best of what New York State's farmers, artisan food producers and wine makers have to offer.
Dinner Afield: A Taste of Buffalo's Bounty is a recurring fine dining event presented by Feed Your Soul three to four times a year. Each Dinner Afield takes place in a glorious, regionally significant setting and aims to highlight the bounty that is Western New York's agricultural legacy. Delaware Park's Hoyt Lake will be the location of the inaugural Dinner Afield event. Olmsted's Buffalo park system perfectly embodies the history and beauty that is so innate to the Queen City.
Guests will arrive at Dinner Afield: Hoyt Lake to find tables draped in white linen and lit with candles circling the lake's edge in front of the beautiful Marcy Casino. The elegantly dressed tables will play second fiddle to the delicious local fare which will be served. Platters laden with sumptuous dishes assembled carefully by our chef (JJ Richert of Torches Restaurant) will reflect the glorious harvest of New York State's farmers and artisan food producers.
Of the 140 dinner guests, more than 20 will be the artisans and craftsmen that grew, raised and produced the bounty that will be served. A toast will be made to these hardworking farmers and producers of Buffalo's great harvest and each guest will receive an accompanying menu that includes information about each of the farms and vineyards featured in the evening's meal.
This is an event not to be missed! A portion of the proceeds from this event benefits the Buffalo Olmsted Parks Conservancy.
