The Local and Knaus Berry Farm Team Up for a Spectacular Sunday Supper Series

The Local Craft Food & Drink has been one of our favorite restaurants for a while now. Everything that Chef Phil Bryant touches turns into culinary gold, and his Sunday Supper menu with Knaus Berry Farm is no exception. Earlier this year, The Local and KBF teamed up to create a one-of-a-kind monthly feast at Estancia Culinaria, a gorgeous family farmstead in the Redlands.

Designed to showcase KBF’s expansive produce — they’re more than just cinnamon rolls! — and shine the spotlight on Homestead (an often overlooked dining destination), the Sunday Supper series is a chance for diners to get outside of their comfort zones and enjoy an unforgettable meal.

Meet Your Bartender: Will Thompson

Will - The Bridge

When you’re sitting on the other side of the bar from Will Thompson, you’re getting more than a transaction. More than just a “What are you having?” More than just a “hello” and “goodbye.” You’re getting an experience.

Thompson, a 32-year-old former Air Force medic, has made a name for himself over the years tending bar at some of Miami’s top restaurants and watering holes including Broken Shaker, Ball & Chain and, more recently, The Local Craft Food + Drink. He’s come a long way since getting his feet wet in the industry at P.F. Chang’s after completing his military service. Read more
