The monthly dinner series that takes place at The Barn at Flanagan Farm in Buxton, Maine, features a five course meal prepared by different chefs, and benefits the Maine Farmland Trust. We have worked closely with Alex Wight, founder of the event and our dear friend, to support its development. Once a year, we serve as featured chefs and while we always try to represent our restaurants’ cuisines, lately we’ve been enjoyed grilling and spit-roasting huge cuts of meat. The event is especially gratifying because it serves valuable purpose in supporting a nonprofit that works with farmers who provide for our restaurants. In a bigger way, though, Alex and her family have created this beautiful space where people who don't know each other too well sit elbow-to-elbow and share a big, beautiful (and occasionally gluttonous) meal. Such close quarters, ample servings and generous pours encourage fast friends, by the time dessert hits the table, no one is a stranger. Alex and her team attend to the smallest of details leaving us, the visitors to play.

And play we did.

At this particular dinner, which took place on an incredible summer night, we got playful with a pig. In Mike’s words on that night: We then took red snapper hotdogs and we laid those in there as well. So there is an interior garnish of those...very Maine chic.
