Farm fresh

When they aren’t busy feeding students in Sid Richardson or the Seibel Servery, Rice University chefs Kyle Hardwick and Sarah Finster occasionally take their culinary skills on the road. The two chefs cooked a farm-to-fork dinner May 26 at Bluestem in Shiner, using meat and produce from both Bluestem’s farm and other ranchers and farmers in the area. The sold-out event was even paired with another local favorite: beers from the 110-year-old Spoetzl Brewery. (Photos by Alese Pickering)
