Sam’s Table Turns One
A Celebration of Every Person Who Helped Us Get Here
A year ago, we opened the doors to Sam's Table with a naïve amount of hope, a lot of hard work, and no idea exactly what the year ahead would bring. Somehow, here we are. And we're incredibly grateful.
On Sunday, September 27, the teams from Sam’s Table and The Foraged Feast will come together to prepare a seven-course tasting dinner to celebrate. The menu will feature mushrooms in their many earthy, delicate, and unexpected forms.
From the beginning, we've wanted ingredients to drive the menus at Sam's Table. The relationships we've built with the people who grow, catch and forage in our region allow our team to cook with the finest ingredients at their best—often impossible to find through conventional suppliers.
Dan Lipow is one of the people who brings those ingredients to our kitchen.
Dan is the founder, chief forager and owner of The Foraged Feast. He’s been one of our suppliers and partners from the beginning, but he’s also become a mentor and a friend, generously helping us navigate this new world we’re in.
Join us for our First Anniversary Dinner

Come Back to Where Sam's Table Began: One-Time-Only Reunion with Chef Damon Wise of Pineapple Express & Oso Felipe
On Sunday, July 26, Sam will reunite with his former mentor, Damon Wise, of Pineapple Express and Oso Felipe.
This dinner will take place in our family's backyard-the very place where Sam's Table began as a neighborhood pop-up during the pandemic.
Long before opening his own restaurant, Sam cooked alongside Damon at Tom Colicchio's acclaimed Craft in New York City, where Damon served as Executive Chef. Years later, they'll cook together again, bringing Damon's celebration of American BBQ together with Sam's seasonal approach to modern American cuisine.
For our family, this dinner is deeply personal. We'd love to share it with you.
