Sustainable Seafood Dinner

Chef Rodgers Continues the “Eat Local Savannah” Sustainability Awareness Initiative and Introduces the July 28, 2009 Sustainable Seafood Dinner

With the increasing economic downturn, it’s more important than ever to help support and advocate local farmers and purveyors to help secure and maintain Savannah’s local resources. As a restaurant that supports sustainable efforts to reduce economic, social and environmental burdens, Chef Jeff Rodgers continually alters the Local 11 Ten menu to feature the freshest herbs, vegetables, meats, and catches from many of the coastal region’s premium farmers and suppliers. The July 28, 2009 six-course dinner will feature the costal region’s freshest seafood sourced from Blue Marlin International. Blue Marlin catches from as far north as the lower Outer Banks of NC to Bluffton, SC and as far south as Sea Island, GA. The reception begins at 6:30 p.m. with a 7:00 p.m. dinner seating for $40.00 per person and additional $25.00 for wine pairings. Please call the restaurant at 912-790-9000 to schedule a reservation.
