Just an Orr-dinary Day: Book signing and lunch with Chef Daniel Orr at the Goose

Stop by the Goose on Thursday, Sept. 24, 11am--2pm, for lunch with Daniel Orr when he'll be unveiling his newest publication, FARMFood: Green Living with Chef Daniel Orr.
Books will be available at the Goose and Chef Orr will happily sign your copy over lunch.

Between lots of glossy, luscious food pics and spunky text about Orr's appreciation for all things local is advice and recipes about how to make the most of eating local, seasonal, and heritage foods....which Orr has had the chance to do all over the world.

His travels only brought him closer to home, though. From winning a middle school cooking competition to helping his parents harvest raspberries and black walnuts at home in Columbus, Orr went on to cook in France, the British West Indies, and New York City. He returned to his native Indiana to open FARMBloomington in 2008, but you'll have to ask him when exactly he got that FARMTattoo.

Sure, Orr's book would make a great gift and a fetching coffee table addition, but why not use FARMFood as a little inspiration for the appetite? The Goose is stocked with everything you'll need to feast on local flavor. Pick out your favorite FARMFood recipe and get marketing at the Goose.

Welcoming Sandra

Another goose has found her way to our gaggle. We’re happy to introduce Sandra, the newest barista to join the Goose gang.

Born and raised here in Indy, Sandra left flat Indiana for the mountains of Colorado. School took her to the Rockies, but the music scene kept her there for almost a decade. She sang with Motown and Afropop bands all over the state and even made a cross country tour with her reggae group, the River Jordan Band.

That classroom time in Colorado did pay off. When she was ready, her degree in geography helped her find Indiana again. She returned to the Hoosier state just a couple weeks ago and is having fun getting settled.

We know she feels at home behind the espresso machine, though. Sandra has been working in coffee shops and as a barista since she was 14 years old. Check out the tight foam on her lattes and cappuccinos—yum.

Welcome, Sandra!
