With the precious summer months fleeting, this week we are excited about taking advantage of the things that make us love the season so much — fresh veggies and rosé. There's also a beer social, Latin American dinner and a food tour on tap. We'll see you out there.

Vegetable Dinner at CBD Provisions
Executive chef Richard Blankenship welcomes chef Andrew Wiseheart of Austin’s Contigo and Gardner into the kitchen to co-host a special vegetable dinner celebrating the best of Texas’ summer produce. The six-course, family-style dinner includes three seasonal vegetable-centric dishes including okra with country ham, hazelnuts, and Shishito jam; summer squash with mussels and fresh herbs; and potato with farm egg and beef fat.
While vegetables are the heart of the menu, the dinner is — clearly — not solely vegetarian. Cost is $100 per person and the dinner begins at 7 pm. Reservations can be made by calling 214-261-4500.
