Farm Dinner At Egg

One of our favorite southern soul food joints in the world, Egg, is launching the first of a series of Farm Dinners on Thursday, June 24th. What in heckfire is a Farm Dinner? Well this is how Egg ‘splains it:

This year, we’re beginning a series of farm dinners to showcase the produce we’re growing at our farm in Oak Hill, New York. We’ll host a dinner on the last Thursday of every month until the ground freezes over. Each dinner will feature the best vegetables and fruits we’ve got growing at the time. We’ll offer one seating and a fixed-price 3 or 4 course menu: all you have to do is make a reservation and show up.

The first dinner will be Thursday, June 24 at 7:00 p.m. and will use our lettuces, baby carrots and beets, and radishes, along with whatever else has sprung up by then. We’ll serve the vegetables along with local lamb. The price for this dinner will be $45, which includes flights of Brooklyn’s braggable big bottles: Brooklyn Local 1, Local 2, Sorachi Ace and, yep, Black Ops.

Well that certainly got us excited. But we wanted to know more. So we started pestering them over email for the menu. They haven’t finalized it but here are some idears they’ve been tossing around:

-amuse (chilled soup/pickled baby vegetables w. creme fraiche…)
-Lamb Sausage (merguez) with spoonbread (souffle style) and vegetables (depend on the farm availability, but probably chard with pickled chard stems, or maybe radishes)
-farro and farm greens salad, sliced lamb loin (cold)
- small portion midcourse: herb and baby greens salad with pulled rib meat and (maybe) one lamb chop
- Lamb “Country Captain” (lowcountry curry-style ragu) over fried grits (imagine a grilled polenta cake) with greens
- maybe a palate-cleanser type thing…gooseberry seltzer? might not happen
- dessert: either a chocolate dessert with cherries or a berry crumble with cream
