Outstanding in the Field DREAMIN'

 Awhile ago as I was browsing one of my favorite blogs, Inspired By Charm,  I discovered a gem: Outstanding in the Field, a restaurant without walls! The Outstanding in the Field Bus travels to incredible destinations and serves local, fresh food on artfully designed long tables.

Their mission is... 

"to re-connect diners to the land and the origins of their food, 

and to honor the local farmers and 

food artisans who cultivate it."

Jim Denevan is the creator of Outstanding in the Field.  He is a remarkably unique and talented artist.  He is called "the maker of moments"... and that is EXACTLY what I stand for and always try to promote on MooreMinutes.  

 This discovery moved me, it awakened every part of passion within me and made me feel alive.  My profile on my blog says it best:  I am passionate about the beauty of life.  I love deeply, feel deeply, and live deeply.

 This event encompasses the culture of humanity in nature.  It frames beauty.  Experiencing treasured moments gives energy, it is what fuels a heart and gives passion to the tomorrows.  Outstanding in the Field honors the simplicity of our earth and applauds true beauty. 

Their signature style of long tables in rows and curves...

Each event takes place on a ranch, at sea, a farm, or winery.  The food is locally selected, fresh and whole foods. Everything you eat celebrates the local resources, and is prepared by an accomplished chef.  The meal is a dance with nature and a culinary masterpiece. 

 

The extra exciting news is that Chris and I get to attend an Outstanding in the Field dinner this summer! I am literally counting the days. Dreams do come true!  To say that I am over the moon is an understatement.  I will be sharing a follow up and photos after we return.   This will be the most incredible picnic I've ever been on, an evening of art in motion.

 Unforgettable moments

that can't be duplicated

are treasures to

stash in our souls for always.

The fine print fun stuff: The government makes me say that I was compensated for this post.  However my thoughts and opinions are 100% my own.
