Next Two-Week Dinner open for reservations

November 08, 2009
4 p.m.

This time around I'll be making a 5 course meal, paired with 5 different beers. There will be a constraint - just like I had last time. But instead of divulging the challenge now - I'd rather have my guests guess during the dinner and then I'll fill everyone in when I post my final images.

I have 6 open spots for Sunday afternoon/night. The cost will be either 40 or 45 dollars 30 or 35 (including beer) depending on whether I'm able to get a few rare ingredients or not. Remember - you are only paying for the cost of the ingredients for this meal. I think of this as my own cooking school - so I do not charge for my time.

The meal will last between 2.5 and 3 hours.

I'll be posting a menu shortly - first I need to find out whether my butcher has any kangaroo or ostrich in the shop before I finalize my last dish. Each course is loosley based off of some of my favorite things to eat while drinking beer. I'll be seeking to bring out certain flavor combinations in these "comfort foods" that will sing with the different types of beer we've chosen.

Here's a teaser -

  3. Sweet. I'll put you down.

    If I bought you the ingredients - could you make a batch of special beer for one of my January or February dinners? Let's chat.

  6. Dani - send me your actual address and I'll certainly turn you in to a 5 sided figure! I would be honored!

    For some reason I thought that you had stopped blogging after your 40 new places challenge.
