Outstanding in the Field promises to bring you closer to food

Aug 23, 2011

Do you ever stop to appreciate the effort it actually takes for that delicious coq au vin dish to arrive on your plate? From the vegetable growers in the fields and to the duck farmers, creating special dishes is an elaborate, methodical process.

We came across a very unique business that promises to bring you closer to the food you eat: Outstanding in the Field, located in Santa Cruz, Ca. mission states, “Our mission is to re-connect diners to the land and the origins of their food, and to honor the local farmers and food artisans who cultivate it.”

Outstanding organizes culinary events without walls –literally. All “culinary adventures” are typically located outdoors — be it on a mountain top, on a beach shore or on a farm, with meals cooked and prepared with local food by celebrated local chefs of the region. “Wherever the location, the consistent theme of each dinner is to honor the people whose good work brings nourishment to the table.”

This traveling restaurant is always on the go so be sure to check out their next pit stop here.
