The Fort restaurant and Les Dames d’Escoffier are sponsoring a dinner-lecture series to support the Green Tables Initiative, a nationwide effort to encourage more use of locally grown produce and to fund garden-related school programs.
The monthly dinners will feature products from the Colorado and Rocky Mountain region.
Chipotle has also teamed up with Les Dames d’Escoffier, the culinary women’s non-profit, and will donate a portion of its sales for one evening to the Green Tables Initiative through Slow Foods Denver. These sales will go toward the Colorado Les Dames chapter’s support of a school or community sustainable projects.
The Fort is southwest of downtown Denver on Colorado 8, just north of the U.S. 285 intersection. The dinners are $85 per person, $20 of which goes toward the Green Tables school garden project. For reservations, call 303-697-4771.
