Hors d'oeuvres literally means "outside the work" or appetizers served before or outside of the main dishes of a meal. Expanding upon the implications of this, Chef Hedda Cabbage (aka, Randy Lee Cutler) will serve up food, stories and anecdotes of local west coast cuisine highlighting what is often not digested with traditional consumption. She will forage the landscape and consider the broader implications of food or what belongs to the space and time of sustenance.
