The Food Bank of Delaware is preparing for its sixth annual Dinner in the Orchard - a night of delicious food, fine wines, craft beer and live entertainment.
The event, open to the public, is planned for 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 13, at T.S. Smith & Sons in Bridgeville. The dinner will take place under the farm's apple orchard pavilion located off Orchards End. The entrance is located off Route 13 across from Goodwill.
Ticket holders will enjoy farm-fresh foods prepared with ingredients from Sussex County farms as well as an assortment of wines and beers. Dinner will be prepared by students from the Culinary School at the Food Bank's Milford Branch. Live entertainment will be provided by Darren O'Neill. Proceeds from the event will help support the food bank's 14-week culinary arts training program.
Food Bank of Delaware Executive Chef Tim Hunter and Chef Tish Badamshin have planned a seasonal menu including shrimp and cornbread cakes, blackened fish bowls with rice, beans, corn salsa and avocado salad – just to name a few dishes.
