About this Event
The Roots Dinner

March 10, 2027 | Plant Based Supper Club Series

There's something wonderful about the first harvests of spring in the South! As winter begins to give way to warmer days, our local farms bring us some of the most beautiful ingredients of the season—tender young carrots, colorful radishes, sweet beets, delicate turnips, and an incredible variety of roots pulled fresh from the earth.

Often humble in appearance, root vegetables are anything but ordinary. Their natural sweetness, earthy flavors, vibrant colors, and surprising versatility make them some of our favorite ingredients to work with at Topsoil. And we're excited to give them the spotlight they deserve!

Join us for The Roots Dinner, the second gathering in our 2027 Plant Based Supper Club Series, as we celebrate the changing seasons, the first signs of spring, and the farmers who bring these beautiful ingredients to our table.

Our evening begins with a welcome cocktail and seasonal small bite, offering the perfect opportunity to mingle with fellow guests and meet the local growers behind the evening's harvest. We'll then gather for a five-course, root-inspired dinner showcasing the incredible diversity of vegetables growing right here in the South.

Each course will feature locally grown root vegetables, prepared in ways that reveal their remarkable range of flavors and textures—from crisp and bright to deeply roasted, sweet, earthy, and savory. Our kitchen, led by 2020 James Beard Semifinalist Chef Adam Cooke, will transform these familiar vegetables into imaginative dishes that celebrate both their simplicity and their extraordinary culinary potential. Optional wine pairings will be available to complement each course.

Good food begins with good soil, and great meals bring people together.

This year, we're bringing back community dining, inviting guests to share a table, make new friends, and connect over a love of locally grown food. Private tables will also be available upon request. You'll have the opportunity to meet our growers, hear their stories, and learn more about the care, patience, and hard work that goes into bringing each harvest to our kitchen.

Whether you're a devoted vegetable lover or simply curious to experience familiar ingredients in an entirely new way, this is an evening to celebrate the beauty of seasonal eating.

Come hungry, come curious, and help us welcome spring—one delicious root at a time!
