Courier Journal At the Table dinner series Fat Lamb: tickets

The Courier Journal is launching a new event series, partnering with local restaurants to provide readers with exclusive dinners full of food and storytelling.

For the inaugural At The Table event, set for Nov. 3, the Courier Journal is teaming up with The Fat Lamb.

The event will feature a six-course “Eat Your Elevated Veggies” meal curated by executive chef Dallas McGarity. It will also include a conversation with McGarity, who opened his popular Highlands restaurant in 2016.

For At The Table, McGarity opted to go all-in on veggies with a menu designed just for this November dinner as a way to “showcase a fantastic vegetarian tasting menu.”

“There's a lot more creativity in vegetable dishes than there is with meat dishes,” McGarity told The Courier Journal. “I think you have a lot more room to play and to feel like an artist.”
