The Field of Dreams
Sweet corn fritter with smoked cream, chive oil & microgreens
An Iowa cornfield is reborn as a Field of Dreams ballpark.
Why this bite? Freeman turned a cornfield into a ballpark. This corn fritter — humble, elevated, unforgettable — is that transformation.
The Story
MLB's Field of Dreams game required Freeman to transform an actual Iowa cornfield into a functioning ballpark — temporary infrastructure at its most poetic. This sweet corn fritter with smoked cream captures that transformation: something humble and agricultural elevated into something people will remember forever, with chive oil for the green of the outfield that appeared where corn once stood.
