One
of the best food events in Baltimore is almost here, the American Institute of
Wine and Food will be hosting for the 5th year Farm to Chef on
Monday, September 29th at 6:30 p.m. at the American Visionary Art
Museum.
What
makes it so special? It is about partnerships with chefs and local farmers who
create, who on a day-to-day basis proffer the freshest culinary creations for
their clientele. Farm to Chef is a special evening when a chef, a farmer put
one locally grown or raised item center of the plate for you. There are 30
chefs innovating with the local
farmers, vying for your vote. Local celebrity judges have the coveted task
of tasting all of the chefs’ dishes and choosing the tastiest and most creative
dishes in three categories: sweet, savory and vegetarian. A People’s Choice
award will be based on the guests’ votes.
In
addition to the chefs’ creations, top mixologists from The Baltimore Bartenders
Guild will serve innovative and unique libations using premium quality spirits
from regional distilleries. Brendan Dorr, President of The Baltimore Bartenders
Guild said, “The Baltimore Bartenders' Guild is excited to be part of the
AIWF's Farm to Chef Event.” The
bartenders of the BBG, like the chefs, will be using the freshest produce from
the best local farms to create seasonally, exciting cocktails.
The American Institute of Wine & Food
(AIWF) Baltimore/MD Chapter, whose mission is to advance the understanding,
appreciation and quality of what you eat and drink, is proud to present this
one-of-a-kind event, designed to highlight the local talents of Maryland’s
chefs and the bounty of our local farms. “Farm to Chef” benefits Days
of Taste®, a discovery-based
program that brings together farmers, chefs and community volunteers - to
introduce elementary school children to the basic elements of taste and to
teach them how their food travels from farm to table. When monitoring one of
the Days of Taste classes in the classroom, the chef asked, “Do you know where
corn comes from?” One student raised their hand and waved it fervently,
responding “a can.”
The
evening will also include an amazing food-lovers raffle that includes culinary
classes, wine dinners and a YEAR OF DINING –where 12 of the best restaurants in
town each offer a $100 gift certificate! And not only do guests get to enjoy
the tastiest event in town, they will go home with a special Hometown Swag Sack
filled with local goodies.
