Randy:
"'Raised in the restaurant' is my proud response when asked where I attended culinary school. Beginning my culinary journey in my father's restaurants at a very young age I learned most importantly that you can never stop learning."
Randy and John Hoagland, of Cherry Capital Foods, hatched the idea for this special event this past summer.
The goal is to let Randy demonstrate for our growers and suppliers just what magic he does with the products they grow and harvest.
Randy enjoys working "from scratch" with what is at hand, and has been known to develop his evening menu as late as 4:30 in the afternoon. What is absolutely fresh that day?
As we are later in the season, some products, those with early seasons, will not be represented, but there are sure to be plenty of delicious preparations to be sampled. The likely ingredients range from freshwater caviar, whitefish and lake trout, to pasture raised chickens and llama, seasonal greens and squash, local cheeses and, of course apples, apples, apples and more apples
We expect to be enjoying parings with local wines.
