Sunday September 15th Off Cuts with Evan Leichtling of Off Alley

Evan Leichtling is the chef of the tiny restaurant Off Alley in Columbia City. And it is quite tiny, with a width of only six feet four inches. My first cafe was just ten feet wide and I thought that was difficult, so I totally get his challenge. Evan and his wife have risen to the challenge and created something special. It was named by the New York Times as one of the most exciting restaurants in America and named as a semi-finalist for the 2024 James Beard Awards.

I have convinced Evan to come out to the farm to teach a class this summer, after the tremendous success of his class last year on sauces. This year, Evan has chosen to create a class and a menu around the lesser known cuts of meat, including offal and off-cuts, which feature heavily on the menu at his restaurant. Come learn more about these interesting proteins and making lesser known cuts more accessible.
