The Bitter Gourd Gang continues to grow!

Chef Itaru of @fairchildrestaurant knocked our socks off today with his creative shot of “candied bitter gourd with Fernet Branca, bitter gourd panna cotta and cherry” at Farm to Flavor in Madison, WI.

@mazlabseeds is leading this Breaking Vegetable Boundaries project to breed new high quality organic vegetables.

Stay tuned to hear a lot more about this project in the coming months and years.

P.S. this account does not condone the use of bitter gourds as weapons ;)

Dinner at Fairchild tonight was a true work of art. From the beet & peach salad to the oysters, hamaka, foie gras, halibut, and the duck confit agnolotti, every dish was bursting with flavor and color. Each plate felt like a story of Dane County’s farms brought to life—fresh, seasonal, and beautifully composed.

Not only was the food incredible to eat, it was absolutely photogenic. The kind of meal where you want to savor every bite and snap every angle.

It’s no surprise that Chefs Andrew Kroeger and Itaru Nagano are James Beard Award winners—their creativity and dedication to local ingredients shine through in every course.

If you’re looking for a dining experience that celebrates Madison’s farms in the most flavorful way possible, Fairchild should be at the top of your list.
