I've been to one of the Astor centers dining events, the Head to Tail dinner, and was totally blown away by it. Here's a chance for you sake lovers to have the best of both worlds, food and sake. On July 10, 2008 East Meets West has Tim Sullivan, sake expert, pairing premium sake to non-Japanese food prepared by Chef Alex Sorenson. I met Chef Sorenson at the Head to Tail dinner where he was one of the many chefs who volunteered to help put the amazing dinner together. I was very impressed with his skills and since then we have emailed back and forth a few times as I have asked him various questions. I wish I could be at this dining event myself, but I will be traveling extensively during the middle of July. The seating is extremely with only 16spaces, located in the Astor Center kitchen so you can observe Chef Sorenson while he works.The menu looks mighty tasty and there will be two premium sake's paired with each course. Six courses, twelve premium sake's? Now I really wish I could be there.Here's a sneak peek at the menu.
Market Lettuces and Pickles
Scallop Tartare, beets and caviar
Seared Tilefish, pea-shiso stew and guanciale
Roast Quail, black pepper-cherries, rice and wild morels
Grilled Pork Belly, roast turnips and radishes
Fresh Berry Soup, ice cream
