Full Circle Meal 2019: The Menu
Given that Meal is the operative word in the Annual Full Circle Meal, it should come as no surprise that each year, the menu features a slew of creative offerings from some of the most exciting and interesting chefs the area has to offer. This year, André deWaal, Brandon Grimila, and Mike Carrino all collaborated to bring a decidedly pro-veggie menu to life.
