Farm to Fork with Chef Jesse
Chef’s Curated Culinary Adventure + VIP Lunch
Ever wonder how chefs pick the really good produce? Join Chef Jesse of Ciao Trattoria for a relaxed, small-group adventure through the Farmer’s Market.
You’ll meet his favorite local farmers and food makers, learn how to spot the best seasonal ingredients, and see how a chef thinks when planning a meal.
After the market, stroll back to the restaurant where Chef Jesse will demo how to turn that beautiful produce into a delicious, seasonal dish—and then you’ll get to enjoy it for lunch!
Come hungry, leave inspired. And yes, solo guests are absolutely welcome—this is the kind of experience where new friendships are born over great food.
