Celebrate seasonality, locality and creativity, all under one sustainable roof. Noble: an American Cookery will host A Useable Feast next Tue., March 30 to benefit the Buy Fresh Buy Local program that educates communities on the value of farming and cooking with local products.
Event organizer Lyla Kaplan of Down to Earth tells us "functional pottery by Jim Dugan, Mel Griffin, Ayumi Horie and Gwendolyn Yoppolo will be placed in the restaurant to be used by guests, creating an active environment where the common experience of eating and drinking becomes a celebration of the interdependence among pottery, food, cooking, and people."
Guests are invited to sip a complimentary ROOT cocktail as they preview the collections from 7 to 8 p.m. A ROOT-infused, four-course dinner will be served family-style after the preview. (Full menu after the jump.) Here, guests may choose a plate from the artists to act as their first course's substructure.
The $85 ticket includes the aforementioned cocktail and beer or wine with dinner. Part of the proceeds will be donated to Buy Fresh Buy Local's PA chapter and other local food organizations. Call 215-568-7000 for reservations.
