Farmers' Market Frogger
Merci 10 W. Mifflin St., Madison, Wisconsin 53703
Saturday, Oct. 15, 10 am, Field Table
Supermarket Sweep returns in a bold new way as participating bartenders are sent charging through Madison’s nationally renowned Saturday Farmers’ Market with a fistful of dollars to be used on cocktail ingredients (and spicy cheese bread). Once they gather what they need, bartenders hurry back to Field Table to execute new spins on the classic Bee’s Knees, using The Botanist Gin, itself conceived with 22 foraged Islay botanicals, while brunchers look on. A panel of judges will, of course, award coveted prizes — $250, and appropriately enough, brunch the following day — to the winner.
