This Friday, we’re excited to be cooking in the kitchen of our good friends at Whisk & Ladle Supper Club. Our collaborative, “guest chef” meal will make use of the plentiful vegetables of early fall, though of course with many hapalicious twists. Focusing on seafood and classic French inspiration, here are the courses we will be serving up.
Hapa Harvest
A collaboration of the Hapa Kitchen at Whisk & Ladle Supper Club
Friday, October 16, 2009
8pm
Canapes
Wonton Skin-Wrapped Mini Quiches with Napa Cabbage and Chevre
Oyster Havemeyers with Absinthe
“Boulliabasse” with Dashi, Baby Carrots, Tofu and “Seafood”
Lobster Gratin with Fingerling Potatoes, Gruyere
(vegetarian option available)
Hapa Nicoise with Baby Tatsoi, Peppercress, Arugula and Tea Leaf-Stewed Eggs
“Scallop” Sponge Cake with Carrot Syrup and Raw Chocolate “Caviar”
If some of these menu items sound mysterious, it’s true, there’s a lot more to them that we’re keeping a surprise. (You can imagine the difficulty we’re having putting this menu in words!)
Wines will be paired with each course by the dear funnyman, Jonny Cigar of the Noble Rot wine club. Specialty cocktails will be shaken up at the bar by Nick. Our vegetables will be sourced heavily from The Lone Acre farm, a sustainable, organic, one-acre farm operated by one man, Dan Machin, on the North Fork of Long Island. We will probably serve some “Hapa Jacks” (popcorn and peanuts with a sweet soy glaze) at the bar.
Dinner contributions are $60, which includes five courses, wines and unlimited cocktails. The Whisk & Ladle is located in Brooklyn, and exact location and address will be announced with your reservation confirmation email. We regret that seats are very limited for this dinner, so if you do not receive a notification we are unable to seat you at this event. Please note that the dinner begins at 8pm and dessert is served around 10:30pm. To reserve a seat, please write to rsvp@thewhiskandladle.

[...] Later I joined Mark for an unforgettable evening in partnership with the Hapa Kitchen. As you can see by the happy people in this pictograph, the evening was as I said already unforgettable, in every way. I poured wine and told people how to behave and have a good time. They listened and as a result I was asked to appear on Good Morning America, which is an absolute and unforgettable lie. Look at this fancy posting: here. [...]
