We pulled some recipes from some of Mr. Prices favorite pubs. We made Chris peel all the yellow beets. The sausage was a bloody mess, quite bloody indeed, but well worth the bloodiness. We used 40% pork fat, 20%pork meat, and 40% blood for the slurry, adding only salt and pepper to season. We lit [...]

We noticed a considerable preference to braised lamb and starchy accoutrements. Chef Lauren's menu started with a cucumber salad, followed by some heartier dishes. Gurkas Norge Crawfish Tails a la Carlton Braised Leg of Lamb and [...]

Street Food galore at Xuntas gathering space in West Town. Our honey panna cotta and the Trout Sopes were the favored bites. We used honey from urban beekeeper W, who also made a delicious panna cotta!
We served a menu using seasonal fish in the studio space of painter Danielle Klinenberg. We found some nice sushi-grade striped bass, fresh sardines, and meaty lake trout. The flavors were Mediterranean-inspired, fresh and green, with plenty of lemon juice, olive oil, and sprouts. Cocktail: Lemon Pom: Mint Tea Vodka, Lemon, and Pomegranate, freshly ground [...]
