MAX CHEF TO FARM 2019 SCHEDULE IS NOW AVAILABLE TO BOOK TICKETS – NEW EVENTS ADDED FOR THIS SEASON

The Max Restaurant Group is pleased to announce the 2019 Chef to Farm Summer event schedule. For the 12th year in a row, Max Chef to Farm is taking the show on the road and will be hosting a series of dinners and festivals out in the filed, literally. We are dedicated to supporting our local farms and other food and beverage producers, and by bringing the “Max” experience to the farms we get to celebrate all of the hard work and bounty that surrounds us here in Connecticut and Southern New England.

This year we bring back some of the annual favorites, such as the Corn (Maize), BBQ-Bluegrass-Brews, and Tomato dinners, and the ever popular Hoptoberfest. New for season are several dinner events, as well as an added festival theme for Father’s Day. One of the most popular Chef to Farm events is the Lobsterfest, which will be on September 29th, this season, and for Father’s Day we are hosting the Backyard BBQ and Family Fun Day – so that everyone can come out and enjoy a great, relaxing day with dad and the family. Other new events include a Whiskey Dinner with Max Downtown, a Sunflower and Wine Festival in July, and a Chef to Brewery event with Hanging Hills Brewery in Hartford, CT.

We look forward to seeing you throughout the summer and fall season at any of these great events.

7th Annual Whiskey Dinner at Max’s Oyster Bar Featuring Rye Whiskey

RYE: A New York-inspired Cocktail & Food Pairing Dinner

whiskey on the rocksThis year for our annual Whiskey Dinner, Max’s Oyster Bar team will be featuring classic Rye Whiskey based cocktails from the New York City historical drink book, and specifically the regional variations on the Manhattan Cocktail. Each course is paired with a classic interpretation of this delicious drink, each with their own touch made famous by bartenders past and present.

Rye whiskey is an inherently American spirit, and what better way to showcase this than with an inherently American drink? We say, there is no better way, and so we have an entire menu centered around these themes. Join us for this excellent dinner, “tour” the regions of New York City, and stay warm with Rye Whiskey.
