On September 21, Let Us Eat Local 2011 will showcase chefs alonsgide producers.
Since event takes place in New York City, its means chefs cooking with local ingredients which I guess will come from upstate New York, Long Island, Pennsylvania, maybe even New Jersey.
Local producers will be there. List is still being finalized. Blue Marble Ice Cream (Brooklyn, NY) is confirmed.
In 2010, Orwasher's Bread (NY, NY), Rick's Picks (NY, NY), Red Jacket Orchard (Geneva, NY), Katchkie Farm (Kinderhook, NY), and Hawthorne Valley (Ghent, NY) along with multiple local brewers (Sixpoint, Fire Island Best, Southampton Publick House, etc.) and vintners were present.
Early bird tickets for Let Us Eat Local 2011 presented by Just Food are now on sale.

Event organizers had the good taste to pick Pascaline Lepeltier as their Wine MC/Curator.
