JOIN US FOR THE FIRST ANNUAL WHOLE HOG DINNER FEATURING WINE PAIRINGS ON WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7 STARTING AT 6 PM FROM THE CHEFS OF CHESTNUT-

EXECUTIVE CHEF – BRIAN CROW
CHEF DE CUISINE – MATTHEW DOROUGH
SOUS CHEF – ASHLEY HELMS
PASTRY CHEF – MALLORY FOSTER
COMMISSARY SOUS CHEF – NOAH BUCHANAN

The hog is sourced from Crow Fly Farms. Here’s a snippet of who they are:

Crow Fly Farms is located in the foothills of Western North Carolina just outside the mountain town of Marion. A love for animals, concern for the environment, and an affinity for great food started us down the path that got us here today. Through trainings with the Savory Institute, we were able to learn the skills necessary to manage holistically. This allows us to ensure that the entirety of our farm is benefitting and regenerating from the day-to-day decisions that we make. The heart of our farm and the regeneration that is happening is our animals. They are what makes this whole system work. We are focused on using heritage breeds that operate well within our context. We raise Red Wattle hogs because they produce an excellent tasting well marbled meat but most importantly, they excel outdoors in pasture and forest. Our pigs are fed an entirely Soy-Free Organic feed, produced right here in NC by Reedy Fork Farms. They supplement their diet with acorns, grubs, grass, bugs, and whatever else they can root up. Their days are spent roaming under the canopy of our hardwood forest and most importantly being pigs.

Cost is $190 per person to include food, alcohol, 7% Tax and 20% gratuity.

The East Asheville Welcome Table is an engaged and committed partner of ours who host and serve free weekly dinners.

The East Asheville Welcome Table is run by a group of volunteers who love interacting with their community. In the past 6 months, The East Asheville Welcome Table has distributed 3,623 pounds of food, while serving an average of 500 meals each month.

East Asheville Welcome Table’s weekly meals include live music performed by community members, games of cards, and knitting.

The Welcome Table’s dedication to creating a food secure community, however, goes beyond their walls. At the beginning of the pandemic, Welcome Table volunteers leapt into action and served meals to folks staying at the Ramada Inn.

We are thankful to have such a remarkable partner like East Asheville Welcome Table, who consistently do all they can to ensure their neighbors have access to food with dignity. If you or anyone you know lives near East Asheville and could benefit from a free dinner, be sure to stop by the East Asheville Welcome Table from 5:00-6:30 PM on Thursdays.

For this captivating event, five diverse community leaders will be paired with chefs to tell their own stories through food.

During each course, the Chefs & Storytellers will share with us their story and the process of transforming that story into a delicious and unique dish.

Whey Jennings grew up in a family full of country music royalty. His grandfather, the legendary Waylon Jennings and grandmother Jessi Colter both had major success in the major music charts for decades. Jennings is a “rough around the edges, unpolished singer” with a voice as big as Texas. He couldn’t go pop with a mouth full of crackers! Jennings is the oldest son of his mother Katherine and father Terry Jennings. Whey has always had a deep love for music since the first time he stepped foot on stage. Whey was just a boy when, at one of his grandfather’s shows, Jessi Colter left a microphone on a chair backstage after performing “Storms Never Last”. Young Whey picked up the microphone and pranced out onto the stage and began singing “Mamma’s Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys.” Whey’s grandpa Waylon shouted out: “Hey hold up there Hoss…wait for me!” Waylon went to pickin’ and when the song was finished, the crowd went nuts. It was on that day that Whey fell in love with music and as they say… the rest is history.

Before the Industrial Revolution, when the greater part of the world’s population was engaged in agriculture, cottage industry was a common hedge against hunger. Farmers and their families used the lean months of winter, after their crops had been harvested and sold, to earn money by selling preserved goods and handicrafts, or doing piecework for others. Culinary and craft makers continue to embrace this concept of working from home, and there is a thriving contemporary cottage industry. Often showcasing their goods alongside farmers at local markets, these makers and homesteaders contribute another valuable experience borne of the local agricultural community. For this event, we’ll gather together several entrepreneurial chefs, makers and beverage producers whose business model is based on, or originated from, bringing their delicious craft from their home to yours.

Featured Chefs: Madeline Redo & Trevor Musick – Cassia, Elijah Je Bailey & Sydney Rubin – Hominy Farm, Jametta Raspberry – House of Gristle, Regan Stachler – Bramble Events, Dune Pierre Michel – French Broad Pantry, Hector & Julia Revilla – Mamones, Gabe McIntosh & Mei Kawamura – Better Thymes, Nicole Case – Coco’s Bake Shop

Featured Beverage: Cultivated Cocktails Distillery, Archetype Brewing, Hillman Beer, Seedlip, Chemist Spirits, Top of the Monk, Botanist & Barrel, Savor Shrub, Shanti Elixirs, Embrew Tea, Devil’s Foot Beverage Company, Sarilla Sparkling Tea, Blue Ridge Mountain Water sponsored by Biltmore

Makers Market: Botanical Bones, Loom Imports, Matcha Nude, Provisions Mercantile, Organic Growers School, Goddess Ghee, Red Fiddle Vittles, Embrew Tea
