Edward Farrow, the executive chef at the Café at MIM, loves Halloween. In fact, it’s his favorite holiday. And while he can’t dress up in an outlandish costume during work hours (too much risk of fire), he gets in the ghoulish spirit by giving his constantly changing, locally sourced menu items gruesome names . . . . just for one day.
