Founder
To
reflect the fête's rustic, organic ambiance, Patina
Catering worked closely with local foragers and farmers
to create an agriculturally driven menu fit for a gourmand.
"Our vision for this year's dinner extends beyond the plate;
it begins with an intention to maintain the quality and integrity
of the ingredients we have sourced from the farmers and foragers
we rely on as partners and friends," says Splichal. "As
we honor the source, we pay homage to a new concept of luxury-we
celebrate the true elegance of nature."
