Pop-Up Dinner: Alsace France
Pop-Up Dinner: Alsace France
Join us for a fabulous French dinner that will highlight Chef Contos’ old-school family roots.
Champagne Toast will kick off the evening!
This dinner will combine some of the favorite recipes from Alsace which is located east of France, along the Rhine river, at the German border. Sauerkraut, juniper berries, and pork? You could be forgiven for thinking this sounds like great German food. Well, it does, but look closer; this is, in fact, the cuisine of northeastern France, not a million miles from Germany, hence the cultural influence. The Foods of Alsace Lorraine are considered some of the finest foods in France whatever their origins may be.
Menu:
Alsatian Ham-and-Gruyère Salad
Tarte Flambée “Flammekuech” (cheese and bacon tart!)
Choucroute Garnie (Sauerkraut with resiling all sorts of pork and sausages)
Crusty Breads with homemade Cultured Butter
Pear & Raisin Strudel with Burnt Caramel Sauce
