Here's a sweet culinary opportunity for your new year: Learn about the Sustainable Food Center, take guided tours through their four-star green energy building, chat with SFC Farmers’ Market vendors and cooking class instructors while tasting food samples – and you can sign up for cooking and gardening classes at a 15% discount.
Wed., Jan. 9, 6-8pm. Free, but registration required.
Here's where you'll enjoy a family-style, five-course meal dished up by that Curren-helmed culinary team we told you about last year – we're talking about shrimp fritters, cream of poblano soup, a Cubano sandwich, wild game with saffron rice, and more – and each course is paired with some of the best suds that Austin's own Blue Owl Brewing has to offer: Little Boss (sour session wheat), Saison Puede, Spirit Animal (sour pale ale), Professor Black (sour cherry stout), and Wee Beasty.
Yes, we’re telling you about these events at Austin’s favorite cheese shopearly because 1) they’re so damned fun and informative and tasty, and 2) they – because of the previous reason – tend to sell out in advance like whoa! So start prepping your fun-time schedule this year for the likes of Cheese 101: The Seven Styles of Cheese (Jan. 8), Cheese Date Night (Jan. 10 & 24), Soft Cheeses and Bubbles (Jan. 11 & 22), and that much-buzzed-about Cheese-y Bus Tour (Jan. 26).
