It’s finally that time of year – when two beloved crops converge in the field, at the farmer’s market and on chef Carolyn Johnson’s fourth annual Corn & Tomato Menu. Book a table at 80 Thoreau during regular dinner hours from August 4th through the 15th to partake of the $45, four-course prix fixe that’s just bursting with the local bounty (feast your eyes on a sample menu below). Call 80 Thoreau at 978.318.0008 to make a reservation and have your fill of the farm stand staples.
