Champignon Dinner
Friday the 15th of May

In celebration of the spring mushroom season, we are pleased to announce our second Champignon Dinner. Our good friend Todd Spanier, who is a forager, a food lover and an overall 'bon vivant' will be at Marché for this event. Todd has promised to deliver a bountiful supply of porcini, golden chanterelles and morel mushrooms. Although we have a written menu, we will be going to Todd's King of Mushroom Warehouse on Wednesday morning and the menu may change according to our discoveries. The menu will be priced at seventy-five dollars a person, including a personal visit from the mushroom king himself.
