The final Movable Feast fundraiser for CUESA is upon us, and tickets are still available for the August 5 dinner at Americano, with chefs Chris Cosentino (Incanto) and Paul Arenstam (Americano). If you’re unfamiliar with the series, the Center for Urban Education about Sustainable Agriculture has been hosting fund-raising dinners since march, in which two notable chefs collaborate on a meal using produce from a featured farmer. This go-round, the vegetables will be supplied by Joel Schirmer’s Dirty Girl Produce. Tickets to the five-course meal go for $80 ($100 with wine), and can be bought here, and the menu can be seen below. Yes, it’s on the patio, but we’re assured there’s plenty of heat.

On an unrelated note: Grub Street is taking a couple of days off, starting today and going through Monday. We’ve scheduled a few items to go up automatically in our absence, so do please check back here during the day for updates. We’ll be back Tuesday and will miss you terribly until then.
