Calling all Vegetable Lovers

Chefs Hopkins and Sweeney checking in the daily harvest.
It’s been said before, but we’ll say it again.  Chef Linton Hopkins loves vegetables --- eating them, as well as cooking and serving them.  Chef Hopkins is not the only cook in our kitchen with a deep appreciation of the earth’s edible flora.  Chef David Sweeney recently joined our team.  As the Chef de Jardin, Sweeney is directly responsible for working with our farmers as they deliver their harvest daily, and processing the vegetables as they arrive.  As a result of his fine work, we are announcing a nightly five and seven course vegetable tasting every night at Restaurant Eugene.  Here’s a preview of a recent menu:
