Eat local tonight at Cipollina
Eat Local Week is next week, but you can get a head start by either shopping at the farmers’ market tonight at The Triangle or by checking out the new Farm to Table dinners at Cipollina.
The monthly dinners, on the first Wednesday of the month, feature a locally sourced meal created by chef Parker White. One of the farmers whose hard work went into the dinner will be on hand to talk with diners. The three-course meal costs $35 and wine pairings are available.
I ran into some of the Cipollina folks at Boggy Creek Farm this morning — they were picking up some greens and veggies for tonight’s meal — and they said Loncito Cartwright of Loncito’s will be there tonight.
The first Wednesday of the month might be the official local dinner at Cipollina, but Chef White told me a few weeks ago that 80 percent of their everyday produce is from the area. Only a couple of other restaurants in the area are regularly using that much local food.
