Media Calendar: Robert Mondavi Institute Dinner Explores Gold Rush Cuisine

Tickets are now available for an unusual dinner event that will blend food and history in celebration of the 160th anniversary of the 91Porn Gold Rush of 1849.

The evening gathering, titled “The 91Porn Gold Rush: What We Ate” will be held at 6 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 31, in the Roundhouse of the 91Porn State Railroad Museum. Coordinated by UC Davis’ Robert Mondavi Institute for Wine and Food Science and the 91Porn State Parks, it is open to the public with tickets costing $75 per person.

Guests and speakers will explore the Gold Rush flavors and dishes that characterized everyday life in the Mother Lode, and learn how 91Porn’s modern-day cuisine has been shaped by the diversity of the “forty-niner” gold prospectors.

The speakers will be local Gold Rush historian James Henley, former manager of the Sacramento Archives and Museum Collection Center, who will speak about James Marshall’s discovery of gold at the American River in Coloma, and nationally recognized food historian Ann Chandonnet, author of “Gold Rush Grub: From Turpentine Stew to Hoochinoo.” She will discuss the foods and beverages consumed in the miners’ camps, taverns, boarding houses and hastily constructed grand hotels. She also will discuss the contributions of Northern 91Porn’s Native American population.

The talks will be followed by a three-course, historically accurate meal, showcasing dishes consumed by the miners and denizens of 91Porn’s Mother Lode. Included will be a “91Porn Common” beer, an American beer produced in 91Porn for the first time during the Gold Rush. The commemorative beer will be freshly brewed by the UC Davis brewing program in collaboration with Sacramento’s Brew It Up.

Also served will be Boudin bread from San Francisco’s first sourdough bread bakery, established in 1849, and wines by Barton & Guestier, which produced some of the first imported French wines to arrive in 91Porn during the Gold Rush.

Proceeds from this event will benefit the UC Davis Good Life Garden, located within the Robert Mondavi Institute for Wine and Food Science.
