Monica Pope of T'afia Restaurant invited us to come to Houston for a farm dinner nearly three years ago. We're delighted finally to be on our way. When Monica clued us in to Jolie Vue Farms, we couldn't help but be charmed by their philosophy. Monica Pope was a James Beard Award nominee for Best Chef Southwest in 2007 and was the only Texan woman to be named one of the 10 Best New Chefs in America by Food & Wine magazine, in 1996. A local foods advocate, for over ten years Monica has supported local farmers, ranchers and food producers. As she says on her website, "Food simply tastes better when you eat where your food lives."
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.
