Ghost Tree Invitational - Dinner on the Range: Sat., Sept. 6

Last year, Chef Tim served up some 1,200 Duck Confit Tacos at the Ghost Tree Invitational's "Dinner on the Range," with many people coming back two and three times for more. Packing 100 pounds of fresh, warm tortillas from the Jackalope's neighbors at Tortillaria Reyes, hand-shredded duck confit in sauce Tim "made up on the fly," an avocado-tomatillo guacamole, fresh pico de gallo and queso fresco, these were not your run-of-the-mill tacos!

This year, Chef Tim will apply his magic to Elk Sliders with homemade condiments.

The primary beneficiary for this year's event is the Hospice Center of Bend-LaPine. According to the website, "Dinner on the Range is a first class epicurean event featuring sixteen renowned local chefs and the finest west coast wineries and breweries. You do not have to play in the golf tournament to attend the dinner, it is open to the public and individual dinner tickets may be purchased."

Dinner on the Range begins at 4pm, and food and beverage service will begin at 5pm. Get the details here.
