<a id="Solare-Liberty-Public-Farmers-Market-Dinner"></a>"Shop with a Chef" Dinner @ Solare

July 27 - “Shop with a Chef” Dinner @ Solare

“Shop with a Chef” with Solare and Chef Accursio Lotà. It’s Thursday, July 27. The evening begins at 5:45 pm, when you will assemble at Solare. Here, you will have a behind-the-scenes introduction to Solare’s culinary program and discuss what is currently featured at the Liberty Public Farmers Market. Next, Chef Accursio will guide the dinner guests through the market on a personal tour, visiting the local farmers who’ve harvested the ingredients for the evening’s dinner and who will provide tastings of the fresh produce and ingredients. Along the way, Chef Accursio will reveal his thought process and inspiration behind that night’s menu. Finally, we will all walk back to Solare where we will enjoy a farm-fresh multi-course dinner, using the ingredients found and purchased directly from the market earlier that day. The cost for the event is $50++ per person (alcohol not included, but available). Reserve today via email or call 619-270-9670.

Sicilian-born Accursio Lotà brings authentic Italian and Sicilian style and flavor to his executive chef position at Solare Ristorante. After growing up watching his mother and grandmother prepare family meals at their home in Menfi, Sicily, Lota pursued an Italian-grown cooking career gaining experience from top kitchens around the world including five-star Grand Hotel de la Minerve in Rome, the Four Seasons in Milan and “the Biltmore” in Santa Barbara, as well as the local fine-dining classic, The Marine Room.
