hunt + gather
A unique dinner challenge where guests "hunted” for local ingredients prior to the dinner and gathered to cook a spontaneous 4 course meal with Chef Leif.
THE HUNT
A special bag with an official invite and “hunting” instructions was mailed to each guest. Each invite included unique ingredient descriptions (green, leafy, or bitter for example), and guests were challenged to interpret and source a fruit, vegetable, or herb to complement the meal. Participants were encouraged to forage, pick, or purchase their finds and gather information about its origin. The menu was ultimately determined by the particular choices and interpretations of each guest.
THE GATHER
Once the ingredients had been brought to the table, guests shared their choice with the group. With no preparation, the chef was challenged to spontaneously design, prepare and plate an entire 4 course meal based on the collective ingredients, with the addition of chef provided seafood and meat. All guests shared in the cooking process with our head chef.
