But then it came to my attention that this week&#8217;s evening is ALMOST sold out! Not to worry, though\u2014you can still get tickets for Saturday if you rush, but even if you aren&#8217;t able to land tickets to this weekend&#8217;s event, there&#8217;s still <em>one<\/em> more opportunity on the horizon for gourmands with an appetite in tow. And one more opportunity for me to tease you, I suppose.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, September 29, we&#8217;re firing up the grills in the <a title=\"Ruth Rea Howell Family Garden\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nybg.org\/gardens\/family-garden\">Ruth Rea Howell Family Garden<\/a> for one last seasonal gourmet gathering. This time around we&#8217;ll be spotlighting dishes and demonstrations from the dynamic duo of Chef Dan Drohan of <a title=\"Otto Enoteca Pizzeria \" href=\"http:\/\/www.ottopizzeria.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Otto Enoteca Pizzeria<\/a> and Chef Josh Laurano of <a title=\"Tarry Market\" href=\"http:\/\/www.tarrymarket.com\/?\" target=\"_blank\">Tarry Market<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Before dinner, kids and parents alike are invited to join Family Garden staff in the vegetable beds for hands-on gardening and craft activities, after which we&#8217;ll jump straight into preparation with an expert cooking demonstration by our visiting chefs. Save room for cavolo nero and ricotta salad, agnolotti al forno with swiss chard and pecorino, sweet potato and walnut budino, as well as paired wines and more. Trust me\u2014you&#8217;ll leave well-fed.<\/p>\n<p>For more info on upcoming menus and getting your tickets, visit our <a title=\"The Edible Garden\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nybg.org\/exhibitions\/2012\/mario-batali\/index2.php\">Edible Garden<\/a> page. Though I&#8217;d suggest <a title=\"NYBG Tickets\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nybg.org\/visit\/tickets.php\">registering soon<\/a>\u2014judging by September 21&#8217;s dwindling tickets, the one taking place on the 29th should fill up quickly as well.
