At press time, they weren’t getting back to our inquiries about the 2022 dinner, but if they’re having dinners, we’re going to go. We’re also hoping that a third option is 63rd Street Farm and Laudios Catering’s weekly “seed to table” dinners will be a possibility. Their list of restaurant partners for the event was not announced by press time. Menus are announced a few days beforehand for guests who want to specifically pair beverages with their food. Meals last about two hours, and guests are invited to bring their own wine. Ollin Farms is preparing farm dinners featuring a rotating group of chefs. Guests are served a family-style meal with beverages available for an additional price, and plenty of time to wander through the farm and blacksmith shop area. Reservations may be hard to get, particularly since Owner and Executive Chef Erik Skokan is a finalist for 2022 James Beard Southwest Chef of the Year. We’ll start with Black Cat, where farm dinners are resuming this month.

They are fresh-air, community-building events that show how great food can taste and how enriching an evening can be when you slow down and engage with the company of others out in the open.Īlthough the full list of available farm dinners for this season weren’t available yet, we have a sense of where some of them may be. Farm dinners were particularly beloved during the pandemic, and you should be on the lookout for more outdoor, farm space dinners this summer.

We wouldn’t mind having something like this closer to home for warm summer nights. Music and lots of innovative, early-stage dining-concept options helped this set up function like an open-air food hall and gave aspiring chefs a less expensive way to reach customers. In other states, we’ve even heard of parks with multiple food and beverage concepts placed together. While we’re on the subject, we encourage as many other hospitality-based businesses as possible to follow Left Hand’s lead. The centerpiece is a converted storage container that serves as one of the hippest, most convenient remote bars you’ll find. In Longmont, Left Hand Brewing added an entire beer garden with performance space adjacent to their taproom and plenty of food truck access if you get hungry. With spacious seating, a walk-up window bar, and a flexible performance space, it’s a great place to hang out and socialize with friends or when Friday work gets out early.

The future will show just how far restaurateurs are willing to go to keep the seating areas and how much the public is willing to advocate to keep outdoor dining a reality.Īvery Brewing also updated their outdoor space with an expanded patio. While there’s strong support for it to continue somehow, the city is trying to determine what that looks like, and there’s even talk about charges per square foot for restaurants to lease parklet space. Louisville’s closed Main Street was reopened to auto traffic last year, and Boulder officials are starting to consider if dining on car-free streets has a permanent future after the current emergency orders expire on Aug. It should be even better during the rain when drops pelt the side and you’re caught with nowhere else to go and nothing to do but enjoy the food in front of you and whatever’s in your glass.Īs welcomed as outdoor dining has been, some of it is going away. It’s as cozy as streetside dining gets, and it doesn’t appear to be going anywhere. Then there’s the Alpenglobe seating at Frasca Food and Wine.
