Motor Supply Co. Bistro Announces Local Farms Honored at Harvest Week, June 16-21, 2015

COLUMBIA, SC – Executive Chef Wes Fulmer of Motor Supply Co. Bistro, one of the Midlands’ foremost Slow Food restaurants, announces 12 featured farms – and menu teasers – for Harvest Week, June 16-21, 2015.

Harvest Week features an all-local, farm-focused dinner menu of artfully crafted dishes honoring fresh S.C. ingredients and the farmers behind them, as well as a limited edition Harvest Week Cocktail List. Motor Supply hosts Harvest Week annually to celebrate the restaurant’s year-round relationships with small, local and sustainable Midlands farms.

Meet the Farmers

Meet the Farmer Happy Hour will jump-start Harvest Week on Tuesday, June 16, from 5:30-7:00 p.m. Head Barman Josh Streetman will debut his eccentrically delicious Harvest Week Cocktail List for guests to enjoy while mingling with local farmers. Each cocktail is specially designed to highlight the flavors and ingredients of each farm, and to complement the dishes coming out of the kitchen.
