Outstanding in the Field
Outstanding in the Field is a roaming dinner concept that began in Santa Cruz, California. In the summer of 1999, Chef Jim Denevan came up with the idea of setting a table on a farm and inviting diners to an open air meal in celebration of the farmer and the gifts of the land. He called it Outstanding in the Field, and soon he took his novel idea on the road, traveling to farms across America and around the world. Over the years, OITF’s nomadic ‘restaurant without walls’ has welcomed nearly 70,000 guests for multi-course meals in farm fields and orchards, on beaches and mountaintops, in barns and greenhouses.
