I had the pleasure of shooting (and eating) at the first Plated Landscapes dinner of 2015. This year’s dinners kicked off with a hog roast at their Spice Acres Farm in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park.
Before we get to all the pictures, let’s pause to remember Maxell. He was a good hog. Good and tasty.
Typically, these dinners are several courses that start out with a cocktail and appetizer before settling at a beautifully set table for the evening. This year looks to be a bit different. The early courses were set up as part of a walking tour of the farm. Each station had something wonderful to eat, along with a paired wine. It gave guests a chance to see the farm and learn a bit about the process of bringing locally sourced foods to the table. The tour ended at the barn for a family style, sit down dinner.
I say it every year and I’ll say it again – Spice of Life is fantastic. Get yourself to one of these dinners. Get yourself to their Spice Kitchen + Bar Restaurant. It’s great food by great people.
