The cocktails flowed at Arcadia on Sunday, May 13, 2012. The white linen covered table was set for 170 or so as guests gathered to sample chef Anthony Chittum's (Vermilion Restaurant) creative takes on locally produced food culled from Arcadia and a dozen other featured farms. Arcadia is the brainchild of our own Neighborhood Restaurant Group and located at Woodlawn Plantation.
The five course dinner featured wine pairings from Shenandoah Valley and Monticello.
In the photos: 1) Arcadia's chicken coop; 2) a view across newly planted fields with the long table and the kitchen -- huge grills and dozens of very big coolers under several tents; 3) Arcadia Lettuce Heads with South Mountain Buttermilk dressing, charred onions and pickled hen eggs.
