Party 11/20 | Field to Table

By: Executive Chef Kevin Guffey & Bri Igo, Staffing Coordinator

Our team has catered Field to Table for seven years and it has become the pinnacle of our event calendar.  

This annual fundraiser, held by the Women's Board of Franklin Park Conservatory, requires creativity, skill and precision.  We work with local farmers to create a four course menu highlighting the finest seasonal ingredients found on Ohio farms.  After months of planning our entire team comes together to setup the event space, create a full kitchen from scratch, and serve over 700 guests as they enjoy a beautiful summer evening under the stars surrounding the Franklin Park NavStar Sculpture.  

There are two TC team members that work together closely to ensure all pieces are in place for a smooth and successful event.  

Hear from Executive Chef Kevin Guffey & Staffing Coordinator Bri Igo about what makes Field to Table their favorite event.
