Kitchen Tours This Weds

Hey gang, this Wednesday, Nov. 20th, we will be touring the kitchen at The Bachelor Farmer and then at Bar La Grassa.

Please meet outside of The Bachelor Farmer (50 N. 2nd Ave) at 10 am, please be on time! It is asking a lot of these chefs to be there that early as they work late nights too!

At around 10:20 we will head to Bar La Grassa (800 N. Washington Ave). It is a 10-15 min walk or a very short drive from The Bachelor Farmer.

It is very easy to use the bus to get to this area, but please get in touch with your classmates to arrange carpooling if possible. See you Wednesday.
