A sneak peek of her nine course menu includes:

Many of you are already familiar with Farrah Hoffmire's Giddy Goat Cheese. If not, you can sample her fare at the Farmer's Market on Saturdays or place an order at http://organicprocess.com/press/

Braised Caw Caw Creek Pork Belly with Local Butterbeans. Another popular ingredient seen in restaurants around town committed to serving local as much as possible.

The majority of Chef Dos Santos' ingredients will be obtained from farms on Johns Island, Wadmalaw and her own vegetable & herb garden. Field's Farm, Legare Farm, Kennerty Farm and Ambrose Farm are included in her list of sources. Utilizing their produce to create dishes like the Nata Mato Tea Sandwiches, the Sweet Potato Wedges with Cilantro Lime Jus or the Beet & Peppercorn Giddy Goat Cheese Salad with Pistachios.

It promises to be a night to remember!

I love Farrah's Giddy Goat Cheese! It's unbelievably smooth and the Pimento Goat Cheese ROCKS! I think it's awesome that you're showcasing local farms and produce. Can't wait to try out the dinner!

I very rarely get the opportunity to eat homemade ravioli. So it was quite a treat to see Renata in action at the Taste Testing with the mystery mixologist. I'm tempted to tell folks who she is...but I'll be good and keep the secret! Her cocktails were mind boggling! I'm still longing for more of the Sexy Pear. Renata made the chickpea ravioli right in front of us. Who ever thought about adding ground up chickpeas to a pasta dough?!? It was an awesome combination of flavors..the lamb, goat cheese and the chickpea pasta...YUMMY!!!!Looking forward to the real deal!!
P.S. Keep me in mind for the next Taste Testing. It was fun!
