Here's a look at the rooftop garden at Noble (2025 Sansom St.), which we first talked about in April — up here they're growing edible flowers, heirloom tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and close to a dozen different herb varieties, all of which chef Brinn Sinnott works onto his summer menu. Now they're taking it a step further: The green oasis, which the Noble team implemented with the help of Grace Wicks of Graceful Gardens, will serve as a launching pad for a series of "roof-to-table" dinners. The first installment, scheduled for Thursday, June 24 and open to just 10 diners at $55 a head, will feature dishes that incorporate produce and herbs grown right above the dining room. For the inaguural dinner, Sinnott will cook up eats like a cherry tomato cocktail with various basil and mint varieties and Barnegat Light sea scallops served with a nasturtium pesto. The plan is to hold roof-to-table dinners on the last Thursday of the month in July and August.

I have been looking forward to trying Noble since the chef change and this seems like the perfect time to do so!  Can't wait to eat that little tomato!

If you don't know Nutella is bad for you and your kids, then you are a total idiot and a bad parent.
