SPEAKER

Sonya Coté is a chef, restaurateur and co-founder of Austin’s Homegrown Revival. Marie Clairemagazine named her a “Woman on Top,” and she’s been referred to as one of the “Top 10 Badass Women in America.”Her devotion to local farmers and the farm-to-table movement has come to fruition with her signature restaurant Eden East at Springdale Farm on the east side of Austin. Offering an eight-course tasting menu, this reservations-only weekend dinner and brunch seating puts guests at the center of the farm where the food is sourced, using ingredients that were “harvested just hours before hitting the plate.”

Sonya is also executive chef at Hillside Farmacy and was founding chef for East Side Show Room. In her early career, she used her love of illustration to get her start at Whole Foods Market, ultimately leading to a career as a chef.

HOST

This month’s event will be held at Sonya’s new space, Eden East. This beautiful outdoor location is located on Springdale Farm. Be prepared to park on nearby streets and be outside for the duration of the event. A rain location will be communicated, if necessary, by email the day before the event.

BREAKFAST

Breakfast will be created by Eden East’s sous chef, John Smith, who has worked for the last six years to create locally sourced dining experiences here in Austin. This locally sourced breakfast with locally roasted, fair-trade coffee will be first come, first served. Please plan on arriving early to enjoy this one-of-a-kind breakfast.

SPONSORS
