Since there are so many new people who have been asking about the next Pop-Up I figured it was time to catch everyone up on what is going on. 

Last year we did 8 events and served nearly a 800 people. Grass fed Hamburgers, Handmade Pasta, Omelets, handmade sausages, and spit roasted lamb all done with local ingredients sourced directly from the producers or grown by me and cooked outdoors.

The goals for 2010 were exceeded in every way which puts the pressure on this year to find new ways to commit random acts of food in 2011. One goal is to collaborate with other chefs from the area. Recently I sat around a table at Quillisascut Goat Cheese Farm with 18 like minded people to discuses the regions food identity. From those conversations I expect to see some great opportunities to build a wider food community by seeking new ideas for the Pop-Up project.  

A personal goal for me is to figure out ways to accomplish these goals while working within the established Health Department system. Being an outlaw was never the purpose. The kind of real change that needs to happen requires cooperation at at all levels.

Thank you for your support.
