This Sunday, 30 of the Bay Area’s famously innovative restaurants are coming together to prepare the most unforgettable meal of the year, Foodwise Sunday Supper, a Farm to City Feast. Laurence Jossel, chef at Nopa, says, “We’ve been open for 17 years, and barring the pandemic, I’ve participated in this event every year.” Jossel can be found loyally shopping at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market multiple days of the week to supply his restaurant.
For many chefs, this is not only a tradition of giving back to the community of farmers and ranchers that they depend on, but also a celebration of being able to gather in-person again with fellow chefs and friends in the Bay Area restaurant scene. Foodwise asked a few participating chefs about their connection to local farmers and why they’re joining us at Sunday Supper, as well as what produce they’re looking forward to highlighting on their menu this fall.
