Meet Your Maker: Author John Birdsall
Beloved author, John Birdsall, will be in the Farm Store signing copies of his new book, What Is Queer Food? How We Served a Revolution. This culinary culture deep dive, What is Queer Food? How We Served a Revolution, explores how the Food in America and Europe has long been shaped, twisted, and upended by queer creatives.
We will have copies of both his new book and his first book, The Man Who Ate Too Much: The Life of James Beard on hand to buy. Grab a bottle of wine and one of the summer's going to be favorite beach reads.

John Birdsall fills the gap between the past and present, channeling the twin forces of criticism and cultural history to propel readers into the kitchens, restaurants, swirling party-houses, and humming interior lives of James Baldwin, Alice B. Toklas, Truman Capote, Esther Eng, and others who left an indelible mark on the culinary world from the margins. Queer food is brunch quiche à la Craig Claiborne, Richard Olney’s ecstatic salade composée, and Rainbow Ice-Box Cake from Ernest Matthew Mickler’s White Trash Cooking. It’s the intention surrounding a meal, the circumstances behind it, the people gathered around the table. With cinematic verve and prose that dazzles, What Is Queer Food?: How We Served a Revolution is a monumental work: a testament to food’s essential link to a modern queerness that reveals how, like fashion or tastes in music, food has become a language of LGBTQ+ identity.

Friday Dinner: Celebrating Julia Child
Julia Child, the Grande Dame of food, inspires so many of us in the Granor Kitchen and beyond. Tonight we will be celebrating her cannon with a three course menu inspired by her years of recipes.
The meal will begin with family style snacks followed with an individually-plated, three course menu featuring our favorite Julia Child recipes.
Every meal includes beverages, both Granor Table Wine and non-alcoholic options, paired with that night's menu.
