The Fungi Dialogues: A Conversation w/ Chef James Wayman & Farmer Chris Pacheco

Please join us at the UNITED Table as the Yellow Farmhouse Education Center hosts the Fungi Dialogues, a conversation w/ Chef James Wayman & Farmer Chris Pacheco.

When Chris Pacheco launched Seacoast Mushrooms in Stonington a decade ago, chef James Wayman was quick to spot their potential. As the co-owner of Nana’s, River Bar, and Moromi, Wayman became the first in the Mystic-to-Westerly food corridor to showcase these exceptional mushrooms on his menu. Seacoast Mushrooms are now featured on the menus of restaurants across the state and their popularity continues to grow. Don’t miss this lively conversation as Yellow Farmhouse Director Jen Rothman interviews these two longtime friends about their shared love of mushrooms, the art of collaboration, and how their innovative local businesses are transforming our food systems for the better.

Join us in the gallery after the program for a taste of mushroom tea and a sampling of seacoast mushroom delicacies.

The UNITED Table series is a new culinary entertainment series presented by The United Theatre to celebrate the food we eat and the creative, hardworking people who take the care and thought in preparing and presenting that food, preserving its history, and filling our lives with the tastes, smells, and experiences that bring people together. Through conversations, tastings, book talks, food fests, and screenings from the culinary cineverse, The UNITED Table invites you to pull up a chair. Bon appétit!
