Outstanding in the Field posts their 2010 Schedule!

If you're not familiar with Outstanding In The Field, here is a little bit of info from their website:

"Outstanding in the Field is a roving culinary adventure – literally a restaurant without walls. Since 1999 we have set the long table at farms or gardens, on mountain tops or in sea caves, on islands or at ranches. Occasionally the table is set indoors: a beautiful refurbished barn, a cool greenhouse or a stately museum. Wherever the location, the consistent theme of each dinner is to honor the people whose good work brings nourishment to the table."
Each meal is made with locally grown ingredients and typically prepared by a chef of that region.  Additionally, the proceeds from some of the specific events are donated to a particular charity, for example proceeds gathered from the La Plaza Cultural (NY, NY) dinner will be donated to Wellness in the Schools, which promotes nutritious and tasty food in NYC Public Schools.  Though I have yet to participate in one of their amazing events, they just released the 2010 tour schedule and I am hopeful I will make it to one of the three NYC dinners this year.  Click here to find a map and list of this years events.  Tickets go on sale March 20th, so make your profile early (required for purchase) so it won't be a hassle when this Saturday arrives.

(ps. you can also follow OITF on twitter or their blog. Also, the beautiful picture, and others, can be found in their gallery.)
