Winemaker's Dinner:
Celebrating the Harvest with GleanSLO
Saturday, May 2, 2015
5 - 8 pm
Sycamore Mineral Springs Resort
Avila Beach, CA
Eat, drink and celebrate the harvest with GleanSLO at the Winemaker's Dinner hosted at Sycamore Mineral Springs Resort. Enjoy from an outstanding selection of local wines paired with a five-course gourmet meal created by a talented culinary team of chefs including Chef Dave Schmit!
Imagine trying to prepare a meal for 100 individuals twice a week! Although Chef Dave cut his chops in some of the finest establishments in LA., he now proudly dons the title "Shelter Chef" as a part-time cook for CAPSLO's Maxine Lewis Homeless Shelter. He shops weekly at the Food Bank's Oceano warehouse, selecting fresh ingredients, some of it donated and rescued by GleanSLO, all the while thinking of the nutritional needs of the clients.
During a recent interview Chef Dave recounts, "whether for fine dining or the shelter the focus is the same, on people enjoying food."
