The week before Wednesday August 22, Kim Weston shopped for his 1st Fall Dinner Series held at Hotel 1110. We had such a fun time going to the local establishments like: Monterey Fish CO. on Monterey Wharf #2 for calamari, Pezzini Farms in Castroville for artichokes for the frittata, Carmel Farmers Market for our herbs - open May through September in the Barnyard Shopping Village, Salumeria Luca for the pasta - located next to Luca's Restaurant in Carmel. We ordered small cocktail oysters from Neal at Morro Bay Oyster CO. Kim made the Limoncello and Lemon Basil Sorbet from our garden lemons and he cooked up a huge batch of Sicilian meatballs. Stay tuned for the slideshow from the dinner.

Join us for a feast of Local Mussels, Wild Boar, local artisan salad, dessert and Wine! "This 2nd Fall Dinner is reminiscing on living and growing up at his family home in Garrapata, where his father Photographer Cole Weston hunted for deer and wild boar to feed the family. Though typically not cooked underground, Kim fondly remembers his mother cooking it in this way. He has since mastered this technique and can’t wait to share it with you.” Its a 2012 Weston Scholarship Fundraiser too!

This series will further continue our hotel's tradition of offering our guests unique, elegant culinary experiences centered around Monterey-area food and wine. Our dinner series will especially focus on locally-sourced sustainable food by featuring meats and vegetables from local suppliers.

We are very fortunate that renowned local artist/photographer Kim Weston has agreed to be our first Artistic Chef for this series. Kim is a 3rd-generation Carmelite artist.

 "I have always loved to cook," shares Kim. "Food and preparation of food for friends, guests and lovers has always been a passion of mine. To share a love of food with friends is the same as sharing my artistic photographs. I am not a photographer only when I have my camera in my hands – I am a photographer every minute of the day, whether it’s cooking, gardening or walking with my wife on the beach."

Kim adds, "At this first dinner on Wednesday, August 22, I have chosen a menu in honor of my wonderful wife Gina, whose Sicilian grandfather taught me these simple, delicious recipes. His use of wonderful, locally-caught food that was pulled, plucked and gathered from the Monterey Peninsula created meals that were meant to be shared together.” Themes for the remaining nights of the series will be announced soon.
