Outstanding In Field Dinner

Pescadero

Outstanding in the Field was founded by Jim Denevan in 1999 as an alternative to the conventional dining experience. Rather than source ingredients for a restaurant, we bring our restaurant to the source. The “roving restaurant” without walls is rebuilt every morning and disappears every night. It is a momentary experience and a joyful celebration of human connection. Together we gather at one long table to share the most fundamental and universal human conversation: a meal. Madson pouring wine! This is a ticketed event, visit the website for details.
