If you enjoyed the trout at Founding Farmers last Friday, you also helped support a local farmer’s market.
Chef Nappo participated in Chef’s Day at Capital Harvest on the Plaza, the farmer’s market outside the Ronald Reagan Building. In addition to the wasabi peas and spiced nuts used to make a crust for the trout special, Chef Nappo also purchased dried sausage and currant tomatoes. It was a delicious way to bring seasonal ingredients from farm to market to table.
