Earlier this summer I went to a rather fabulous farm dinner event at Rustic Road Farm in Elburn, IL. Yes, Elburn. Head east of downtown Chicago during rush hour and it’ll take you two hours. The farther you go, the more the landscape changes from highways and subdivisions to fields and fields of corn and soybeans, dotted with the occasional red barn. Eventually, you hang a right and end up at Chef Marc Bernard’s farm, Rustic Road. I was in heaven and it took all I had to get back in my car and drive back into chaos.
