I had the wonderful opportunity this week to go to the Farmer-Chef Connection Conference in downtown Seattle. I made really great connections with different farmers and purveyors, and I'm super excited about my new resources for locally grown, sustainable foods.

I also ran into some old chef colleagues of mine, and they are on the same track with local, sustainable food - it gives me hope for the future of food. I really do feel that making local, sustainable food, we are building a revolution one plate at a time.

This weekend, Doe Bay is hosting members of Three Dollar Bill Cinema. I've created a special, movie-themed menu for their retreat (think The Big Chili, Somewhere Over the Rainbow Trout, and Live and Let Chai Creme Brulee) on Saturday night. If you're in the area, come by, it's going to be lots of fun!

Have a great weekend!
