The annual Autumn Evening in the Garden event to benefit Capital Roots returns September 29 at The Hilton Garden Inn in Troy. Event blurbage:

Chefs, hailing from the region's best restaurants, prepare culinary samples with fresh, seasonal ingredients, donated by local farmers.
Let live jazz music be your soundtrack to a course of 'Braised Pork with Plantain Butter and Pickled Shallots' made with meat raised in Troy. Pair it with whiskey, distilled in Albany and produced from locally grown grains. Win gift certificates while you finish your tasting experience with Elefante Dolce, a wine produced from Concord grapes grown in Altamont and 'Sweet Potato and Apple Bread Pudding' made with produce grown in Argyle.

Capital Roots has been sharing the lineup of featured chefs for the event on its Facebook page. Among the list so far: Ric Orlando of New World Bistro Bar, Yono Purnomo of Yono's, Dan Smith of Jake Moon Cafe, Lauren Bonelli of Campagna.
