Have you ever wondered who the masterminds are behind the delicious meals prepared at Grange? Well this weekend it’s time to find out! This Saturday, July 13 at 5:30 pm, Grange is having a special benefit dinner, the Backyard “Meet & Greet,” where guests can meet the chefs, farmers, shepherds, winemakers, and brewmasters from behind the scenes. Proceeds will benefit the Sacramento Farmers and Chefs, a photography project which documents and celebrates the individuals involved in Sacramento’s food culture. Taking place at Grange pastry chef Jodie Chavious’ home in Land Park, this special event  will include seasonal eats and live music.

So who exactly are the masterminds? The event will bring them to the forefront, with food prepared by chefs Oliver Ridgeway, Brad Cecchi, Jodie Chavious, and Chuy Lopez of Grange, with produce provided by farmer Scrivner Hoppe-Glosser of Azolla Farm, meat from shepherd Dan Macon of Flying Mule Farm, wines from winemaker Sean Minor of Sean Minor Wines, beer from brewmaster Eric Ryan of Ruhstaller Beer, and lavender from farmer Amy Dempster of The Lamm Farm.

“Outstanding in the Field” Event Tickets On Sale Now

by SacFoodies

The “roving culinary adventure” returns to Northern California in June when local CSA Farm Fresh to You and Grange Restaurant & Bar team up for the second year to host an Outstanding in the Field dinner event at Capay Organic Farm in Capay, CA. (We hear last year’s event sold out in 72 hours!)
With tickets to the event selling for $190 per person, we couldn’t wait to find out what this culinary evening would entail. So what does a ticket get you?
The dinner starts with a reception with wine and passed appetizers followed by a four-course, seated meal with wine pairings. Guests are seated at a long table for the meal composed by Grange’s executive chef Oliver Ridgeway in Outstanding in the Field’s nomadic al fresco kitchen. Dinner is served family style (or farm style). During the meal, brothers Noah Barnes and Thaddeus and Freeman Barsotti of Farm Fresh to You, who provided ingredients for the menu, talk about their respective crafts and diners are encouraged to ask questions. The dinner event also includes a farm tour hosted by the brothers.
To us, this sounds more like an ultimate dining experience than a mere meal, and with Sacramento’s new Farm-to-Fork Capital designation, it’s an event we’re glad has returned to NorCal.
What: Outstanding in the Field
Where: Capay Organic Farm, 23804 State Highway 16, Capay, CA 95607
When: Saturday, June 22 starting at 4 p.m.
Cost: $190/ticket

Harvest Sacramento Happy Hour at Grange

by SacFoodies


It’s Friday and there is no better way I can think to close out the week than with a good happy hour.
We’ve been fans of the custom cocktail creations at Grange for quite some time, as you see from our previous SacFoodies posts, here and here. But what makes their latest specialty happy hour unique is that it is benefiting a really great cause!
Harvest Sacramento is an initiative of Soil Born Farms and seeks to use underutilized produce to keep the produce from going to waste. All proceeds from the specialty cocktail creations will go to support this cause and the produce used in the drinks was picked by volunteers from Sacramento-area trees!
Best part of this happy hour special? The custom drinks will be featured at Grange for the remainder of March and all proceeds will continue to benefit Harvest Sacramento throughout the month.
Meyer Lemon Black Pepper, Almost Spring Sangria and Pomelo Punch (which serves two and is served out of a Sacramento-grown Pomelo) are the delicious drink options available to get you ready for the spring season here in Sacramento.
Stop by the Grange during the month of March Monday-Friday from 3-6 p.m. to try the Harvest Sacramento specialty cocktails and support the cause.
Cheers.
