Farm-fresh ingredients are taking center stage in Knoxville’s dining scene next week. More than 25 local restaurants are taking part in Nourish Knoxville’s Restaurant Week, running Monday, Aug. 3 through Sunday, Aug. 9.

Local chefs will debut a new dish or highlight an existing menu item made with ingredients sourced within 150 miles of Knoxville. A portion of the proceeds will benefit Nourish Knoxville, the nonprofit behind the Market Square Farmers Market.

Here are a few of the specially crafted dishes we’d love to try:

Cruze Farm’s Gay Street location will offer a honey graham cracker ice cream in collaboration with Knoxville Honey Co.
DSB Provisions will cook up sweet corn agnolotti, using local ingredients from DSB Farms, Huff Farm, Zavels Family Farm, Sunrise Dairy, and Mountain Roots Farm.
Chismoso will delight diners with a watermelon salad sourced from Myers Brothers Farm.
