Good news for foodies and fans of fresh, seasonal cuisine: Kingsport is bringing back its popular "Saturdays with the Chef" series to the local Farmers Market starting this Saturday. This free cooking demo is all about celebrating the bounty of the season and connecting the community with local culinary talents, as reported by the official announcement on the city's website.
Market Manager Kristie Leonard expressed enthusiasm for the program, noting, "We’re excited to bring in the summer season with this popular and informative program," emphasizing that the Kingsport Farmers Market is not just a place to shop but also a venue for learning, according to the city's announcement. The program kicks off every Saturday morning at 9 a.m., offering more than just market stalls, but bridging the gap between local produce and the dinner table through interactive and engaging culinary showcases.
Those who swing by the market can look forward to savoring free samples dished out during each session, per the series schedule. It's an opportunity to taste the artistry of featured chefs from beloved establishments right before buying the freshest ingredients on the spot to recreate the magic in your own kitchen, echoing the series' philosophy of supporting both the local economy and the health of families. The "Saturdays with the Chef" series is sponsored by Food City, Healthy Kingsport, and the City of Kingsport.
