“Dante Demos” Lecture Series

Eat Right! Eat Local!
Jan. 25, 5 p.m.
Tomasso Trattoria
Even though it’s winter, you can still eat local. Tomasso Trattoria was busy canning and preserving summer vegetables when they were abundant so we would have something to eat later when we were buried in snow. The restaurant invites you to enjoy a five-course dinner highlighting locally and sustainably raised foods and featuring organic/biodynamic wines paired with each course.
