CUESA's Summer Celebration July 10, 2011

July 10, 6pm to 9 pm

There's a lot to celebrate about summer in San Francisco. People are out, the city stays light 'til after eight, and the local produce is hitting its peak. This year, CUESA is raising the stakes with a majestic evening at the Ferry Building, featuring forty of the Bay Area's best chefs along with twenty regional wineries, local spirits companies, brewers and coffee roasters. And, because locals farmers and artisans are at the center of everything we do, each fantastic bite will highlight ingredients sourced from the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market.
At the first annual Summer Celebration, guests will graze and mingle, while meeting the people behind their food. They'll fill up on seasonal fare, but they'll also leave knowing they've provided much-needed support for CUESA's ongoing education programs, including free cooking demonstrations, low-cost kitchen skill-building classes, the new Schoolyard to Market program, and sustainability scholarships that help farmers become leaders in their field.

This walk-around tasting event will take place downstairs in the Ferry Building and will feature a whole beast carving station by chef and butcher Ryan Farr; a raffle; a photo booth courtesy of Magbooth and live music from several jazz and blues bands. Tickets are $95.
