We now offer dessert catering with an exotic line of specialty cupcakes. Tantalizing and decadent, succumb to the temptation…Tara’s Petite Treats.

Spring has finally arrived and I have begun to think about all the wonder fresh produce that will soon be available at our local farm stands and markets. This reminds me of a rule I try always to follow. Mind you, I have never really followed rules in my life; sometimes that philosophy worked for me and sometimes it didn't work so well. But here is a  rule that I follow most all the time. It is the only food rule you'll ever need to follow: " If it came from a plant, eat it; if it is made in a plant,don't." So if you haven't already started sourcing your food locally, now is the time to start. Go out there a support your local farmer and give homage to your bodies.
Cheers!
Michael Bick
Executive Chef

Farm To Table Dinners

Those of you that are familiar with my cooking, know that it is extremely important for me to be connected to my local farmers and producers. I believe that shopping local and sustainable makes for a better world for all of us. I try each year to promote this concept through my farm to table dinners. This year I am more organized than in past years and have selected three dates already for this season. The first event is on April 21, 2013. The other dates are listed below. Reservations can be made for all beginning today.
