Slow Food Benefit
Taste the Two Forks, a benefit for Slow Food East End, will give diners two options to eat well for a cause.
The chef-owner Jason Weiner of Almond in Bridgehampton will offer a cocktail reception with passed hors d’oeuvres and three courses served family style, each paired with wines from Channing Daughters Winery, next Thursday starting at 6:30 p.m. The cost is $95, $90 for Slow Food East End members.
Noah Schwartz, the chef-owner of Noah’s in Greenport, will create a four-course meal with wine pairings from Macari Vineyards and Bedell Cellars. A reception will kick off the evening on Friday, Nov. 15, at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $105, $100 for members.
Both chefs are renowned on the East End for their local sourcing and seasonal menus, and both have earned the Slow Food Snail of Approval in recognition of their work.
