Description
CUESA's sixth annual Sunday Supper fundraiser showcases the abundance of delicious produce offered at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market and the supreme culinary talent of the San Francisco Bay Area. During our reception in the Ferry Building Marketplace, 20 Bay Area chefs will prepare sumptuous Hors D'oeuvres, farmers' market cocktails will be created by both Hangar One Vodka & Square One Vodka, four wineries will offer their local libations and Bison Brewery will pour organic beer.At 7:30, guests who are staying for Supper will ascend the stairs into the Ferry Building's Grand Hall and be surprised by the meal served to them! Chefs from 30 restaurants have collaborated in teams of three to provide a unique first-course, entree, cheese course and dessert for each long table of guests. This means you will be dining on a different delicious meal than your neighboring table. We'll also be drawing the names of the four winners of our Year of Dining out Raffle, auctioning a few fabulous prizes (details TBD), and hearing from a few farmers about what the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market has meant to them.
