Menu for ATW...Brooklyn Boulders
Our Lead Event Chef Cee Curtin and I met with Jeremy of BB last week to talk climbing and the menu for the event. We decided that the best way to format the dinner is to feature cuisine inspired by a selection of Jeremy's favorite climbing locations. Since Chef Cee is an avid climber I bestowed it upon her to work up the menu, which can be found below:
For this special event it will be a mix of snacks at the counter followed by a four courses. Most of the courses will be family style. We think this will encourage conversation and climbing stories. Tickets to the even can be purchased here:ATW..BB

Construction Update and Cooking Lessons
Construction on the new improved Table will commence on February 11 and should be finished by early March with a “Grand Reopening” scheduled for March 11. In addition to a new floor, and a fresh paint job, we will also be installing a custom built counter constructed of the same reclaimed lumber that the new Tables will be made of. The counter will have seating for up to 10 and will allow guests to interact with the chefs directly, while their food is cooked right in front of them. This will be especially cool for cooking lessons.
With this in mind I’ve worked up the initial offering of cooking lessons. They are typically held early in the week (mostly on Tuesday nights) so the pricing will be on the economical side. Since most folks prefer to save their special occasion six or nine course extravaganzas to Friday and Saturday night, the cooking lessons will range from tasty snacks with wine tastings to chef’s demo with a four course dinner. Only the first ten guests will get to sit at the counter..so be sure to sign up before it’s too late!
