Armsby Abbey

Earth Dinner 4/18-4/22

armsbyabbey — Sat, 30 Mar 2013 18:54:22 +0000

On Monday, April 22nd, we celebrate Earth Day! For the fourth consecutive year, Armsby Abbey will be offering an Earth Dinner Daily Specials menu Thursday – Monday from 5PM-10PM in coordination with Chefs Collaborative. Half of the proceeds from each of these special menu items will be donated to Chefs Collaborative, the leading nonprofit network of chefs who aim to foster a sustainable food system through advocacy, education, and collaboration with the broader food community.

In addition, we have decided that supporting local extends beyond farms and businesses – we support our community. For that reason, the remaining half of proceeds from these menu items will be donated to the recently appointed One Fund to help those affected by the tragic events of Marathon Monday.

We hope you have the chance to help us celebrate Earth, our local Farms and giving back to the community!

Check out the Armsby Abbey’s feature in Worcester Magazine’s 2012 Fall Food issue “Krave“ featuring one of our favorite ingredients – BACON! Bar Manager, Joy Flanagan, chatted with the folks of Worcester Magazine about our Chef’s love for this fatty pork product on our seasonal menus and how it has transcended the boundaries of the kitchen to find it’s way into some of our favorite libations behind the bar! Why yes! I would love to add a slice of Bacon to my Bloody Mary!

Cheers!
