Santa Cruz, California–based chef and artist Jim Denevan launched Outstanding in the Field ten years ago to connect diners with the farmers and artisans who feed them. The annual farm-dinner series returns to New York this month, touching down at Queens County Farm Museum, the city’s only working historical farm, for two bucolic five-course dinners featuring local ingredients and paired wines. The $200 fee (plus tax) includes a tour of the 47 acres that will supply raw materials for guest chefs Bill Telepan (August 26) and Ryan Skeen (August 27)—including a whole pig for Skeen (reserve online at outstandinginthefield.com).
