Venture
Coastal Dinner Series
Come join us as we team up with amazing Bay Area Chefs in our Foraging Dinner Series. Each Chef will choose the "main catch" to build the diner around. At the height of each season, we will go out as a group to forage and catch our dinner. Along the way we will explore and learn just how edible the California coast is and how to safely enjoy it. Each dinner will be split into a day of foraging followed by the dinner on the next day.
