Next Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday you’ll be able to snag a premium sample of a soup created by The Farmer’s Table’s own Chef Jeff Landry. Chef Jonathan Dunn of Lavishly Dunn Catering will be serving up his Hood Cream recipe and you’ll have a a chance to pick up product coupons and recipe cards. The best part is that Hood will donate $1 to a local food bank for every sample they hand out, so you can help fill some bellies while you fill your own.

With the end of the world approaching, 1,400 calories worth of fat topped with fat chunks and fat sauce seemed like the thing to do. I’d certainly burn it off white knuckling the Cross Bronx Expressway with the mandatory evacuees…hundreds of thousands of resentful and frightened New York driver evacuees. Finding the ideal candidate was critical: it had to be topped with a thin gravy (this is critical to purists-no pasty flour-thickened gravy allowed) and huge chunks of young Cheddar cheese curds, just like Grandpa used to smuggle in from Canada during the war.
