Catching a pop-up

On August 3, The Roaming Spoon announced on Twitter that it’s moving to the North Bay—“Catch us while you can.” One opportunity to catch its pop-up vegan dinner is a four-course meal on Friday, September 8, at the Sacramento Natural Foods Co-op’s Cooking School & Community Learning Center at 2820 R Street. It starts at 6 p.m. and ends with tomato and coconut mousse. Tickets are $55-$65 at https://sacfood.coop. Then on Sunday, September 10, Roaming Spoon will take over the outdoor kitchen at Kingbird Farms, located at 8869 Orr Road in Galt. Usually, Adam Thigpen—Kingbird proprietor, farmer and cook—collaborates with local culinary talent for the farm’s seasonal dinners, but Thigpen is handing the reins over to Spoon chef Sylvanna Mislang, where she will use the farm’s summer harvest for the ultimate farm-to-fork, multicourse vegan meal. It begins at 6:30 p.m. and tickets are $44-$46. Go to www.kingbirdfarms.com for more info.
