SUMMARY:Eat Local Challenge - locally sourced meal produced within 150 miles of campus
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the 25th annual Eat Local Challenge! This year marks an extra special milestone in the decades-long commitment to local food systems for Bon Appétit Management Company. Twenty years ago\, we began an annual tradition of challenging our chefs to cook an entire meal made exclusively with ingredients grown within 150 miles of their cafe. The rules are simple: All elements of the meal must be grown\, harvested\, milled\, raised\, or produced locally— the only exception is salt. \nEach September\, Eat Local Challenge is a chance for our chefs to flex their creativity while emphasizing our year-round support for our local farmers and foodsheds. \nThis year\, the celebration will take place on Tuesday\, September 24th. Over the years\, we have enjoyed countless mouthwatering creations and celebrated many long-term farm partnerships. We’ve also witnessed how Eat Local Challenge can spur new lasting connections with nearby producers in the pursuit of a fully local plate. \nWhile Eat Local Challenge is a once-per-year celebration for us at Bon Appétit\, its inspiration is grounded in a legacy of pursuing a resilient food future through ongoing\, institutional support of local food systems and partners. In a year of exciting milestones\, 2024 also marks 25 years since the creation of the Farm to Fork Program\, our hallmark sustainability initiative that tasks all our teams to spend at least 20% of their food budget on small farms within 150 miles. To commemorate the occasion\, we’ve published our learnings in a white paper drawing from our many years of industry-leading experience after 25 Years of Farm to Fork. \nWhile there’s much to celebrate and reflect on this year\, we are grateful for the chance to enjoy another Eat Local Challenge with our guests\, chefs\, and farmers\, and affirm our continual mission to expand and deepen the support for our local food communities. \nLocally Sourced Menu: \nSeared Local Halibut Panzanella \nLevain Crouton\, Roasted Delicata Squash\, Heirloom Tomato\, Caramelized Onion\, Lemon-Basil Vinaigrette \nSeared Listada Eggplant Panzanella \nLevain Crouton\, Roasted Delicata Squash\, Heirloom Tomato\, Caramelized Onion\, Lemon-Basil Vinaigrette \nParticipating Farms: \nLocal Halibut: Vinces Seafood \nLevain Crouton: Panorama Bakery \nHeirloom Tomato: Riverdog Farms \nRoasted Delicata Squash: Full Belly Farms \nCaramelized Onion: Full Belly Farms \nLemon Basil Vinaigrette: Riverdog Farms/Seka Hills \nEggplant: Riverdog Farms
