Wake up those taste buds for Feast in the Field


By Patte Smith

Time to break out of day in, day out of “eat breakfast, get lunch and cook dinner.” Sounds monotonous and it is. Well on September 8 say “no more!” and give your palate a real treat.  The American Culinary Federation Colorado Chefs Association (ACFCCA) and Douglas County School District (DCSD) Nutrition Services have joined forces to present Colorado Chefs Salute to Education at Feast in the Field.

Enjoy a day of exquisite cuisine, otherwise known and scrumptious food!  An entire day of feasting will be yours as top-notch Colorado chefs prepare incredible fare at Civic Green Park in Highlands Ranch, Colorado.  The feast will be held from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m.

 “This is going to be a ginormous community event,” said DCSD Executive Chef Jason Morse, who also serves as President of ACFCCA’s Education Board.  “Think of Feast in the Field as a beautiful day at Civic Green Park with family and friends enjoying some of Colorado’s finest cuisine.  There’ll be about two dozen top Colorado chefs serving their best,” said Morse.

The efforts of community student gardeners will also be showcased at the event.  DCSD ProStart students who focus on careers such as an executive chef, general manager and restaurant owner and American Culinary Federation (ACF) apprentices will also assist at the Feast.

DCSD Nutrition Services Director Brent Craig noted that “DCSD Student Gardens are invaluable teaching tools.”  Morse added, “By encouraging student gardeners and finding ways to get kids into the awesome flavors of well-prepared produce, we’re making good on our promise and impacting kids in a really healthy way.

The event will benefit ProStart student and Colorado Chefs Association apprentice scholarship funds.  In addition, DCSD Nutrition Services hopes to add Harvest [salad] Bars to DCSD middle schools through Feast in the Field proceeds.
