With many thanks to Annie Brown for clueing me in to this, our beloved Cured on Pearl Street, famous for its charcuterie, cheese, wine, and artisanal everything else, has introduced a "PLT" sandwich this week, with 10% of proceeds this month going to two farm operations that were particularly impacted by the Boulder County floods that happened one year ago in a few days, but are still a part of many lives. Here are the details from the news release, thanks to Annie.
BOULDER, COLORADO – September 4, 2014 – It's been nearly a year since the floods swept across the Front Range, inundating so many communities. The waters leveled and swamped houses and businesses, destroyed roads, and turned fields full of vegetables into rivers and lakes. Farmers were especially hard-hit - and continue to struggle.
In remembrance of the events one year past, Cured, Boulder's premiere cheese, charcuterie, wine and artisanal provisions market, is joining with local businesses to help raise awareness and money through - what else? - food.
Starting on Friday, Sept. 5 and running through the month of September, Cured will be selling a special $10 sandwich called the PLT. All of the ingredients hail from Colorado companies - Tender Belly Ham in a house made Porchetta, Cure Farm Egg Aioli, Avalanche Cheese Company's Cabra Blanca Cheese, BonaVida Growers' Tomatoes, and Oxford Gardens' Summer Lettuce Mix. Fabulous? You bet.
10 percent of the sale price of every sandwich purchased is returned to Oxford Gardens and BonaVida Growers. The floods hit both farms extensively, and both were part of Cured's Flooded With Wine Fundraiser in 2013.
