Here are a couple quotes from attendees of the first ever August Special Premiere:

"Great variety of flavors and items, great value, perfect duration, knowledgable instructor!"
"Fun. I had FUN!"

August is the very height of tomato season in Michigan, and what better way to enjoy fresh tomatoes than with fresh mozzarella? We'll taste fiore di latte (our classic fresh mozzarella), burrata, baked mozzarella & myrtle, and mozzarella & prosciutto rolls - all with a nice sampling of locally-grown heirloom tomatoes! Bread and additional accompaniments from our Cream Top Shop will be provided.
SOLD OUT! We had such a great response that we have added a second date! Check out our second offering at: https://goo.gl/Za8W2P

Our very first special dinner! With folks from The Brinery and Batch Brewing Company. We're featuring Fermentation like it has never been featured before.

The Brinery's founder David Klingenberger will round out the evening with his very local take on fermentation. And the folks from the Batch Brewing Company will make sure that the beer and conversation flows freely!

Cookbook author Joan Nathan sows seeds of tradition, right here at Zingerman’s Roadhouse!

Joan is a James Beard Award-winning cookbook author (and a University of Michigan grad), and with her 11 books has gathered timeless and delicious experiences from the far corners of the world. She will share the bounty of her latest collection with us as we recreate several recipes from her latest book, King Solomon's Table: A Culinary Exploration of Jewish Cooking from Around the World. Inside, readers will find more than 170 recipes, from Israel to Italy to India and beyond.

Join us for our Harvest Special Dinner #213 on Monday, August 28th, as we reap the lifetime of stories and recipes the tour de force of Jewish cooking, Joan Nathan, has accumulated for us.

Just as the biblical King Solomon cross-pollinated culinary cultures by sending out emissaries across ancient land and seas, “Nathan serves as a modern emissary, gathering recipes and stories from all around the globe.” —Tim Carman, The Washington Post

We will not only taste recipes that have planted the seeds for Jewish cuisine, but the “queen of American Jewish cooking” (Houston Chronicle), will weave rich stories from across the ages as we explore the treasure that is King Solomon's Table. Don’t miss out on this incredible dinner, and a one-of-a-kind opportunity to purchase a signed copy of Joan’s nationally acclaimed new book!

Cara Mangini will slice, dice, and bring cutting-edge vegetable cookery to Zingerman’s Roadhouse!

We can’t wait for our first ever vegetarian Tomato Special Dinner with Cara Mangini! One of Mario Batali's first vegetable butchers at Eataly in New York City, she’s on a mission to put vegetables at the center of the American plate—and our Special Dinner!

Cara has traveled and cooked extensively throughout France, Italy and Turkey to study produce-centered cuisines. She’s the chef and founder of the produce-inspired Little Eater restaurants and farm stand in Columbus, Ohio and the author of The Vegetable Butcher: How to Select, Prep, Slice, Dice, and Masterfully Cook Vegetables from Artichokes to Zucchini, which was nominated for a James Beard Award and honored with two International Association of Culinary Professionals cookbook awards.

In 2017, her restaurant Little Eater was named one of the top 50 vegetable restaurants in the world by The Culinary Institute of America and EAT, an international organization dedicated to reforming the global food system.

The juicy tomatoes we’ve been growing this season at the Roadhouse Farm will indeed be the center of the plate for our Tomato Special Dinner #214. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to taste over 20 varieties of heirloom tomatoes as Cara unearths their flavors in the Roadhouse kitchen. Not only will we be able to savor the recipes in Cara’s new book at this dinner, but her book will be available for purchase and signing.
