5 things you gotta do in Bucks this weekend (March 23-26)

Dodge the rain this weekend with these foodie events. The Doylestown Restaurant Week kicks off, winter produce is abundant, and there’s a fancy Sunday brunch that’s calling your name.

Farm-to-Table Dinner at Comfortfood & Kitchenette

Sunday, March 26, 2017  ∼ 6 pm

Join us on March 26 for an exquisitely prepared, seasonal and locally sourced dinner.

Comfortfood & Kitchenette is a cozy, farm-to-table BYOB restaurant, tucked away on a back street, in an innocuous block of stores in Morrisville, PA. It’s one of Morrisville’s best kept secrets. The locals know about it but I think everyone else needs to know about it too.

Comfortfood specializes in fresh, creative and seasonal cuisine with ingredients sourced from local farms. The menu includes dishes that meat-lovers, vegetarians and vegans can all enjoy.
