In February of 2008, Frank Reese and his Farm invited Slow Food KC Board members to a tasting of 5 Heritage Chickens. Please see below for the types we tasted and the menus that were provided. A special thank you goes to Frank Reese and all of the wonderful talented people who helped him educate those invited to the dinner to taste what Heritage Chickens can really bring to a person's table.
