July dinners for 8, Saturday, July 24, Peach menu with Matsumoto farms peaches!

We are taking a waiting list in case of last minute cancellations for this one.


Special treat for this one!

We will create a 6 course menu from David Mas Masumoto's heirloom peaches!
for several decades, the Masumoto family farm has producing incredible, heirloom peaches. Mas converted the farm to organic over 2 decades ago and his daughter will soon become the 4th generation to take over the farm.
Their suncrest peach is one of the finest pieces of fruit you will ever come across. Large, upwards of 2 pounds each, with a bright gorgeous sunburst color, dripping with juice. These peaches are amazing to cook with.
Come celebrate my favorite fruit from one of my favorite regional farmers with 5 courses
