Chef Steven Satterfield and Celia Barss of Woodland Gardens

September 17, 2009
The Harvest

For Food’s Sake gathering took place in a beautiful historical home and restored carriage house of Whitespace Art Gallery with Chef Steven Satterfield of Miller Union and Farmer Celia Barss of Woodland Gardens. It truly was an evening of the senses! Guests experienced a touch of the past with dinner served family style by candlelight on the elegant Victorian porch. Wood grilled quail highlighted the evening and Steven’s apple tart & homemade ice cream left guest asking for more! The elegant surroundings and Steven’s embrace of the bounty of summmer’s harvest tells us how eating local can be charming.
