We’re happy to have special guests making a debut appearance at our Reston market this Thursday, and we’d like you to come meet them. Derek and Amanda Luhowiak are the proprietors of Local Sixfortyseven, a traveling cafe that has been making the rounds at our markets. The Luhowiaks have committed themselves to a sustainable lifestyle, part of which involves their six-by-nine-foot stainless-steel trailer. The trailer is built out as a complete solar-powered gourmet kitchen, with hot and cold running water and everything else a good chef needs.
The Luhowiaks come to the markets, shop at them and then cook items from a menu written on a blackboard. Part of their mission is to teach others how easy it is to cook with what they can buy at a farmers’ market and also to demonstrate how easy it is to cook well.
As you can see from this post on the blog of Piedmont Virginian magazine, Local Sixfortyseven is already gaining a following. Unfortunately, Local Sixfortyseven ran into a contractual snag at our market at George Mason — read this Connect2Mason article for more information. Fans of the Luhowiaks’ food at Mason hope to see this problem resolved.
If you’re a member of Facebook, you can join the Local Sixfortyseven group. While you’re there, join the group for our Reston market or others — just search for “Smart Markets.”
Come to the Pavilion at Reston Town Center Thursday from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m., and make the debut of Local Sixfortyseven a popular one!
