A pop-up dinner party! Pop-up shops and food trucks are already fun– isn’t anything that is only limitedly available and fleeting more exciting than their permanent counterparts?– and the idea of a pop-up dinner party in the middle of an outdoor location is enough to make me giddy.

That’s exactly what Outstanding in the Field does. They travel around the country with their bus and put on events in gorgeous locations, featuring both local ingredients and local talent, pulling in well-known chefs of the region in each respective area they visit.

I also love that they use long tables– there’s something so much more exciting to me about one long table in place of a bunch of round 8-person tables. And it looks awesome in photos!

Events are open to anyone, all you have to do is buy a ticket (fairly well in advance, they sell out!). Also, isn’t their name brilliant? One of my favorite double meanings in a name ever…
