Farm to Table Monroe

Can I just brag on my little town for a few minutes?  

I love this little Georgia town that I've called home for the last 13 years.  Last night we feasted on a gourmet Farm to Table meal prepared by the best chefs in town while sitting at tables set up in the middle of a downtown street.  Where else can you do that?

Even though I cant give them credit for the beautiful weather, I have to give them props for everything else.  Everything from the beautiful centerpieces and most helpful volunteer middle school wait staff to the live musician and delicious, gourmet food - the entire evening was perfectly orchestrated.  It was such a well planned event that that went so smoothly, if there were hiccups in the evening, the guests were unaware.

Check out this menu!  Almost all of the food for the evening came from local farms.  

To compliment this amazing menu, there was a local micro brewery offering samples of their craft beers and IPAs.  I passed on the beer tasting but I'm loving Bens complimentary Major Humphrey's beer glass.    

Since I'm more of a wine drinker than a beer drinker, it was a glass of Pinot Nior for me.   

And as for food ...

Happy diners.

Those handcrafted items on the tables behind us were just some of the beautiful items auctioned off throughout the evening. 

​I feel like I'm being redundant because I've said this before but it bears repeating - I love this town of mine.  

​Ciao!
