Harvest Farm Wine Dinner at Frame with Chef Evan Sumrell

Hazel Park’s Frame kicks off its fall season of culinary events with a Harvest Farm Wine Dinner on October 6. The organizers at Frame claim that this dining event is “somewhat of a gastronomy love story with shared passion, sincere hospitality and sustainable cooking.” After five years and thousands of meals, Chicago Chef Evan Sumrell moved to his wife’s hometown of Midland, Michigan, to open a coveted farm-to-table concept named Aster Michigan. Chef Evan will be in town for 48 hours to craft an ambitious and playful fall harvest menu featuring tasty offerings from certified organic Goodstead Farm and Traverse City’s Werp Farm. Diners can expect hand-selected wine pairings from Frame sommelier Sean Crenny and a bonafide dinner-party-with-friends kind of vibe. The five-course dinner will include coconut squash soup; lyonnais salad featuring frisee, warm bacon vinaigrette, poached egg, bacon bites and potato strings; scallops with apple brown butter and fennel; squab with horseradish cream, pickled onion, French onion jus; and sweet potato ice cream topped with candied walnuts, toasted mallow and orange zest. Seatings are at 5:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. $68 per person plus fees and tax. Contact Frame for reservations. 23839 John R. Road, Hazel Park framehazelpark.com
