You can taste the difference! Join us for cocktails and appetizers at Chef Tony’s Restaurant that specializes in seasonal, fresh and locally-grown cuisine.

Learn how Foodem.com, a web-based marketplace, is connecting local farmers, food distributors and specialty food manufacturers with restaurants, schools, hotels and grocers.

By doing so, Foodem.com enables the sustainable food movement by satisfying the growing consumer and business demand for more local, sustainably-produced, and healthier food choices.

Cocktails and appetizers will be available at a discounted price and part of the sales will be donated to Montgomery Countryside Alliance, preserving and enhancing Montgomery County’s Agricultural Reserve.
