Keeping it Fresh, Real & Local

The motto at E.A.T is very simple - "To provide sustainably sourced FARM FRESH produce, meats, dairy, cheeses, herbs and grains- with a focus on creating a unique and special affair, for each of our clients." We believe that the food that highlights your event should not only be delicious, but healthy for your body, fair for our farmers & good for our Earth! Riverside and San Diego County features more organic farms than any other state in our nation! Right in our backyard, we have access to over 250 different crops to choose from – most year round. With this kind of access to freshness, E.A.T chefs serve up simple, gorgeous and cutting edge menus!

About

Being a champion of local food artisans and growers, it is no surprise that E.A.T - Extraordinary Artisan Table has been Temecula Valley's leader in local organic faire since 2002. Leading the E.A.T Kitchen Crew is Local Food Artisan, Leah Di Bernado. She believes in allowing simple ingredients to shine and speak for themselves, by bringing out the subtle and delicate flavors that are inherent in local farm to plate ingredients. Her vast experience brings together a solid crew of talented chefs, Kevin Grant (a few restaurants here) and Sara Huston private chef Warren Beatty, Annette Bening, Jack Black, Demi Moore. All of which are staunch supporters of Slow Food Temecula, of which Leah founded, initiating 26 Edible and Academic School Garden Programs in the Temecula Valley. To support and fund these programs Leah has helped to create and sustain for four years running many high profile events such as, ‘Field To The Fork’ and ‘The 100 Mile dinner’- annual farm to table events- featuring local chefs, growers & vintners.
