Nutmeg IFT announces its February meeting on 13th

After a short break, Nutmeg IFT is proud to announce another great get-together event, this time at the DRESSING ROOM RESTAURANT in Westport, CT.

In late 2006, chef, cookbook author, and food policy activist Michel Nischan teamed up with like-minded actor and philanthropist Paul Newman to open Dressing Room – a homegrown restaurant – reflecting their mutual commitment to neighborly hospitality, local, natural and organic ingredients and regional American heir-loom food.

We are meeting at their place for a dinner, presentation and networking. Please see the flyer below for details.
