The View from Chartroom
Friends, Kayla and I invite you to a very special dinner at the Chartroom in Rockport on Wednesday, September 3rd. Dinner will begin at 6:30 pm.
We are excited to partner with Mike Lynch, executive chef of the Chartroom, to bring you a unique and completely original meal. We will feature the fruit of the prickly pear cactus, which is called ‘tuna’. Kayla and I will go out and harvest these fruit in the wild and deliver them freshly-picked for the dinner.
Prickly pear cactus fruit is sweet, dark, and delicious. Chef Mike will prepare the tunas in interesting and creative ways throughout the dinner. You may even find prickly pear cactus fruit in your desert and in your cocktails!
At this dinner, Chartroom will also feature pork roast, bacon, tomatoes, and other products from our farm, as well as fresh Gulf shrimp and pasta prepared from scratch. Not only that, Chef Mike will go shopping at the Downtown Farmer’s Market in Corpus Christi to add to the dinner with wonderful products from other local farms.
This three-course dinner of wild harvested fruit and farm fresh food is only $45, please make your reservations soon!
For reservations, call 361-790-2450. Chartroom is located at 39 Mazatlan Drive in Rockport, in the Key Allegro Marina.
