cheezepowder Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I received an email with a description of this event by TasteDC, and I thought the concept and menu sound very interesting. It says, "This chef-driven event is designed to showcase food items not normally put on restaurant menus." Full description here. (What are calf fries?) Some people here probably would have no qualms about trying everything on the menu, though I can't say I'm one of them. EDITED TO ADD: Whoops, I just realized I mis-titled this thread. Sorry about that -- the name of the event is actually called "Unique and Unusual Food and Wine Festival". I don't think I can edit my thread title...

The menu sounded great and a bit adventurous (nothing really too strange though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ol_ironstomach Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I'm already (tenatively) signed up. The menu sounded great and a bit adventurous (nothing really too strange though). Two courses from veal head (man, just last night I rewatched the first episode of After Hours, where Boulud shows Ripert his recipe for tĂȘte de veau) Two courses of 'nads. Three courses of pseudo-chicken. As Slim Pickens' character says in Dr. Strangelove, "shoooot, a fella could have a pretty good time in Vegas with all this stuff."

Not one course of dog or monkey brain or wombat. Hell, I got most of that stuff in the pantry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pumpkin soup is more in order I would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilrus Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Two courses from veal head (man, just last night I rewatched the first episode of After Hours, where Boulud shows Ripert his recipe for tĂȘte de veau) That was a scary sight in high def.
