About us
Outstanding in the Field is a traveling celebration of what connects us all.
Outstanding in the Field was founded by Jim Denevan in 1999 as a radical alternative to the conventional dining experience. Rather than source ingredients for a restaurant, we bring our restaurant to the source.
Beginning with a humble dinner on Jim’s brother’s farm, our culinary caravan has now reached all 50
U.S. states and 24 countries around the globe – with tables set in vineyards, beaches, meadows, fishing docks, and city streets in addition to a long list of organic and sustainable farms.
We aim to connect diners to the origins of their food while celebrating the hardworking hands that feed us: chefs, farmers, fisherpeople, cheesemakers, vintners, brewers and many more. We’re honored to have welcomed some of the world’s most renowned chefs and culinary artisans to join us and cook in our field kitchen.
Our roving restaurant without walls is rebuilt every morning and disappears every night. It is a momentary experience and a joyful celebration of human connection. Together we gather at one long table to share the most fundamental and universal human conversation: a meal.
Our founder Jim Denevan is also a world renowned land artist. Through his land art, Denevan interacts with the earth’s topography to create works of varying scale in sand, earth, and ice. These pieces range from smaller beach compositions to large land works the size of a city. Each is ephemeral in nature, disappearing with the tides, the winds, the seasonal progressions. In the tables he sets and the land artworks he creates, there is an element of organic impermanence at play.
Denevan has been commissioned to create artworks across the world, both in the commercial and artistic space. Documentation of his land drawings have been exhibited at the Vancouver Sculpture
Biennale, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, MoMA/PS1, and Peabody Essex Museum, among others.
Denevan’s work has been featured in The New York Times Magazine, National Geographic, GQ, The
Surfers Journal, Outside, and Conde Nast Traveler, along with many other publications.
