The Chefs at The Chef’s Challenge 2012 at Stamford Museum & Nature Center
UPDATE: OmNomCT will be guest judges for the Chef’s Challenge, so make sure to stop on by, eat up, and say hi!
A tradition in the Del Ferraro household is hitting up Maple Sugar Weekend at Stamford Museum & Nature Center. It’s a tradition that we’re not willing to part with and it’s something that we look forward to every single year. Really…we’re talking about a weekend long ode to real maple syrup here. It is what fuels our weekends and brightens our mornings. We’re talking ’bout the real stuff…no fake syrups with weird flavoring. Maple syrup: pure, rich, sweet, oh so good.
Just a brief refresher course:
You can come by Saturday (3/2), Sunday (3/3), or both days! Tickets are $5 for members, $10 for non-members. Family Plus members or above and children 3 and under are free. Buy at SM&NC or make things speedy by buying tix online for 3/2 or 3/3.

this is something i might have to go to!
You seriously should. If you love maple syrup, you can get a bunch of it from them. It doesn’t get more local than that, you know? :) Plus, the food is always so great that the chefs create! :)
