Michelin Two-Star Chef Gerard Pangaud Chef's-Table Dinner at Malmaison - Mar 13, 2015

[DonRocks]

For those lamenting the loss of Palena and CityZen, lament not: The great Gerard Panguard - the youngest chef ever to win two Michelin Stars at the time he won them - is hosting a Chef's Table Dinner at Malmaison in Georgetown on Friday evening, Mar 13, 2015.

The cost for the event is $200 plus tax and gratuity.

As Gerard wrote me: "I'm doing this for fun, not for money." Gerard Pangaud is a first-ballot Washington, DC hall-of-fame chef, and if you've never had him at his best, this is your chance. I need to get the details about how to pay, who to pay, etc., but they'll be coming with the wine pairings - this is so you can mark your calendar.

I suspect this will be one of the very best meals served in the United States on March 13th. I haven't had this exact lobster prep, but his "Lobster with Ginger, Sauternes, and Lime" is pretty much his signature dish, and is remarkable.

Here is the menu, with Gerard himself cooking all the dishes. Wine pairings, reservation, and payment instructions to follow shortly:
