Texas’ bounty and creativity is showcased at this outdoor event held in conjunction with the Austin Farmers' Market Downtown. Chefs from Texas and the US will be paired with local Central Texas farmers and meat and cheese producers for a celebration of freshness and homegrown products. Guest chef John Ash and the author Jeff Cox (Organic Cooks’ Bible) will join Texas chefs David McMillan of 62 Main, Mark Paul of Wink and many more. Sample the dishes of a dozen restaurants that have utilized the fresh produce, eggs, meats and cheeses of Texas food artisans. Estate-grown wines from Texas, New Mexico, California and South Africa will be paired with the chefs’ specialties. After filling up on the freshest the state has to offer, walk the Austin Farmers Market and purchase the makings of your own culinary creation. Get your feet stomping and hands clapping to the original folk and bluegrass of Austin Family Jewels. This event is co-produced with the Sustainable Food Center with support from Austin Community College District.
