Chef Allen's Farm-to-Table Monday Night Dinner: Vegetable BBQ (Memphis)

EVERY MONDAY EVENING IN AUGUST: Experience Chef Allen’s Monday Night Farm-to-Table Dinners at the Arsht! A delicious, 5-course, plant-based meal, created by James Beard award-winning Chef Allen Susser and inspired by the local and seasonal produce of the Monday Farmer’s Market. We use the freshest in-season ingredients because they give us the brightest tasting and nutritious flavors. The dinner is served family-style in order to create a sense of community on the corner 13th Street and Biscayne Blvd surrounded by our local growers’ farmers market. Each week is a different culinary theme reflecting various culinary techniques and cultural spice boxes to take best advantage of the seasonal variations of ingredients. Dinner is $30 per person + $18 optional wine pairing. Tickets available on Eventbrite. A mouth-watering culinary experience you won’t soon forget. The Café at Books & Books where we have a passionate commitment to local, fresh ingredients!     ------------------------- Chef Allen’s Weekly Farm-to-Table Dinners THIS WEEK: VEGETABLE BBQ (MEMPHIS) Monday, August 19, 6:30pm The Cafe at Books & Books, Arsht Center    -------------------------   -------------------------   THE MENU      HOT CAULIFLOWER “WINGS”  Celery Leaf Salad & Blue Cheese     GRILLED WATERMELON SALAD Feta, Mint, Lemon & Olives     STUFFED AVOCADO with Corn, Tomato & Bean Salad     SMOKED GOUDA GRITS with Broccoli & Roasted Butternut Squash     CHARRED PEACHES & CREAM POUND CAKE with Pistachio Ice Cream
