Blatant Spam Concerning a Dinner this Evening in NYC

Perhaps it occured to you just now that you do not have dinner plans for this evening, much as it just occured to me that I have empty seats for a pretty fantastic dinner I have planned for tonight? Perhaps also you have an interest in some of the most wonderful sherry to ever see a bottling? And maybe I just happen to have a menu to show you?

Et voila!

A fine collection of sherry, with several aged for over 30 years in cask, including some of the greatest La Botas yet released, the 1830 from Maestro, and Bodegas Tradicion's amazing work. Seared lobes of foie gras with huckleberry jus. What is not to like about this picture?

Also, there is the Liem factor. The guest speaker and host for this dinner will be Peter Liem, who I firmly believe is one of the top authorities on sherry to be found anywhere. I also believe that he is an all around good guy who is pleasant to hang out and have dinner with.

This dinner is tonight, Friday the 14th, at 7:30pm, at a restaurant I just happen to work in located at 11 East 53rd Street between Madison and Fifth Aves. There are some seats available.

The cost of this event is $125 + tax and tip. That price includes all food and wine.

If you might have an interest in attending, please do contact me by using the message function.

Please excuse the blatant spam nature of this posting.
 
Foie gras for dessert, bravo. Meat lovers should be happy to get their fix even after the meal proper.

Of course I'm not a meat lover, but the dinner still sounds like fun.

And I'm still trying to figure out how this Michael White fellow keeps opening up restaurants. A friend planned lunch next week at Osteria Morini, and then I find out it's yet another notch in your broader empire.

+1. Seriously. Hey, Steven just left Spiaggia, should be a space open there. And you can get a bigger apt here. Just sayin'.
 
I'm biased of course, but Peter tonight laid out the context for the most exciting and fascinating tasting that it has been my pleasure to attend thus far in my career. I watched an exemplary mind succinctly explicate the subject. His grasp of the situation is amazing. It was extraordinary.
