Local food blogger joins Savor the Season Uptown!

Evita Gahagan began her love affair with good food in the most common of places: her Puerto Rican mother’s kitchen. Over the years, she has travelled to over 11 different countries and 46 states, discovering regional culinary wonders and nurturing her love of “cooking from the heart”. In 2004, she moved to New York City, which she considers the epicenter of cutting edge gastronomic art. Since her move to the City, she married a man that truly appreciates good food and became the mother of three beautiful girls (who only sometime appreciates good food). Her family has grown their roots deep in West Harlem, a neighborhood brimming with foodie fodder. She contributes to several blogs of varying topics, maintains a few of her own and is honored to be contributing a constant voice and honest opinion on the up and coming food scene of West Harlem.

Official Venue for Savor the Season!

Dinosaur Bar-B-Que is the official venue for our Savor the Season event and we at Harvest Home Farmer’s Market could not be more excited!

As their website states, founder John Stage began Dinosaur Bar-B-Que with two partners as a mobile concession unit in 1983. After five years on the road, they settled in downtown Syracuse as a quick service lunch/dinner bar-b-que joint in 1988 and in 2004 opened their third Dinosaur Bar-B-Que location in Harlem.

Dinosaur Bar-b-que has been nationally acclaimed as some of the best bbq in the country. With numerous awards under their belt in publications such as Men’s Health and Eating Well magazines as well as receiving the honor of the Number 1 BBQ on Good Morning America, they have also been featured on various Food Network and Travel Channel shows. Their cookbook, Dinosaur Bar-B-Que: An American Roadhouse, was also voted a best BBQ cookbook by the National Association of BBQ.

Dinosaur Bar-B-Que prides themselves on fresh, homemade, high-quality food. They were a natural choice for Harvest Homes, and we are so excited to host Savor the Season – Uptown! at their restaurant this fall.
