Imagine eating a gourmet, four-course meal from an award-winning Bay Area chef — all while sitting in the middle of a professional sports stadium... ⚽

This is the unique experience that Field to Table is bringing to San Jose’s PayPal Park from Sat., Oct. 15-Sun., Oct. 30.

Field to Table began as a way to support local chefs during the pandemic, but has evolved into a traveling dining series that spotlights each region’s diverse restaurant culture. 🥘

Each day features a different chef + menu, with dinners priced at $150 per person. In San Jose, some proceeds will benefit Hunger at Home and La Cocina . 💸
