This Food-Filled Road Trip Celebrates West Virginia's Appalachian Culture | Bon Appétit

"At the Farm and Forage Supper Club, Mike Costello and Amy Dawson stage pop-up dinners that celebrate the region’s heritage through every dish and detail; highlights include Amy’s handmade linen napkins, Fat Horse heirloom beans, and a sweet vinegar pie. When weather is mild, guests dine outdoors amid cows and the quiet sounds of country life, creating an intimate, story-driven alternative to a cluttered restaurant setting." - ByCrystal Good, as told to Jen Choi

Recap: Anthony Bourdain's 'Parts Unknown' Visits West Virginia

"During a meal at Lost Creek Farm, where Bourdain tried pawpaw ice cream, buttermilk-poached trout with rhubarb, and chicory root-rubbed venison with chanterelle mushrooms, the discussion shifted toward how food West Virginians have been eating for centuries—often out of necessity—is now 'trendy.' Mike Costello, co-owner at Lost Creek, remarked, 'We see that ramps [wild onion] harvested in West Virginia are selling for $30 a pound in New York?! What’s West Virginia seeing from that? Probably a guy who got about $2 a pound.'"

Our dinner at Lost Creek Farm was nothing short of unforgettable. We showed up as a group of 24 and were blown away by the experience from start to finish. Each course was incredibly thoughtful, beautifully prepared, and delicious, with rich storytelling woven into every dish. The whole evening was elevated by the talent and passion of Chefs Mike Costello and Amy Dawson—their creativity and connection to Appalachian food traditions truly shone through in every bite. We loved talking with them and learning about the ingredients and inspiration behind each course. The BYOB feature was a nice touch, and we left with a couple of wonderful souvenirs (apple butter and syrup) that were just as delightful as the meal itself. Highly recommend this experience and would absolutely go again.

Visiting this place was very surreal for me. I've often been heard saying things like, "there's no better television than Anthony Bourdain" so getting to eat where he ate, and raved about, was very special to me. I'm also relatively local, and deal with farmers in this area, and I passed a very good customer on the way to this place, so it was stitching together several different things into a nice little quilt. The atmosphere is special to me because I grew up with something very similar. I get why city people are drawn to it, but they wouldn't be as enamored by it if it weren't for the wonderful and accommodating hosts, who tell you the stories that built the place, and also explain why the great food is so very special. You won't get an experience like this anywhere else so I would encourage you to give it a try, IF you can get in! It was a magical evening with friends and I'll forever cherish it.
