For our D.C. area dinner, we head out to the coast, and another Outstanding in the Field first: dinner on an aqua farm. At Dragon Creek Aqua Farm, Bruce Wood (U.S.A.F., Ret.) tends 25 acres of Nomini Bay waters, farming oysters, and fishing for crabs, rockfish and eel, which he supplies to select area restaurants. We've brought our long table to ranches, orchards, vineyards, gardens, beaches, and a great many land farms, so we're excited to set it up for aquaculture, too. Chef Anthony Chittum of Vermillion Restaurant in Alexandria, VA, ventures out to this scenic seacoast location to show off a wealth of local ingredients -- especially the fruits of the sea.
Outstanding in the Field events feature a leisurely tour of the
hosting farm followed by a five course, farm-style dinner at our long table set in a scenic spot. Dinner is accompanied by a wine paired with each course. Diners are joined at the table by the farmer, food producers, a winemaker and other local artisans associated with the meal.
