Mercedes-Benz, in partnership with the James Beard Foundation, is teaming up with one of America's most celebrated chefs this year to create a menu that is inspired by ingredients obtained through an open road experience. The Mercedes-Benz "On the Road" menu, in collaboration with Chef Dan Kluger of ABC Kitchen, showcases ingredients that the Mercedes team gathered in the Mercedes SLK Roadster throughout the Hudson Valley in New York. Used Mercedes Geneva dealer, Mercedes-Benz of St. Charles, is excited about this creative and unique partnership between Mercedes and James Beard Award winner, Chef Dan Kluger.

The 2012 Mercedes SLK Roadster made the rounds to each farm located in the Hudson Valley in New York in preparation for the meal.
