Dozens of local farmers and food purveyors will all be represented in one place this week: the Local Food Bash from 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 19, at The Supper Club at Greensburg Train Station.

It'll be a veritable feast of local food, with local farms' fruits, veggies and meats all cooked up by The Super Club's Chef Greg Andrews, plus samples direct from food purveyors, raffles of foodie baskets and live music.

Chef Andrews developed a menu specifically for this event, and the items will be served at various tastings stations throughout the evening. The menu includes:

•Texas-style smoked brisket chili made with meat from Logan Family Farms in Irwin

•Braised short rib sliders topped with poached quail eggs and pepper jelly

•Local fried zucchini fries and eggplant rounds

•Heirloom cherry tomato and panzanella bread salad made with tomatoes from Rose Family Farms in New Paris

•Local pear salad tossed with blue cheese and shrub dressing from Tait Farms in Centre Hall

•Cranberry bean hummus made with beans from Let It Grow Farm in Scottdale

•Roasted potato wedges made with potatoes from McQuade Farm in Slickville and Let It Grow Farm

•Black raspberry or sweet corn gelato (corn from Palmer's Farm in Greensburg)

Also, representatives from two area stores will attend and offer samples: Rosary Acres General Store of Ligonier (gluten-free bread and peanut butter) and Fede Pasta of North Huntingdon (pasta).
