This Week in Bacon
A few weeks ago, we posted about the glorious disgusting new concoction brewed over at the Brooklyn Brewery — bacon beer. Well, this Friday, bacon beer meets seven-course tasting menu at New York’s Per Se restaurant. If you have ever had the privilege to eat a meal at Per Se, you know how amazing (and expensive) the food is. If you haven’t been yet, maybe tomorrow should be the night to try:
Tomorrow, September 18, Per Se is hosting a beer-paired tasting dinner with brewmaster Garrett Oliver of Brooklyn Brewery. Brooklyn Brewery Beers will be matched with a seven-course tasting menu. Among the other offerings, this is your first chance to taste “Reinschweinsgebot” an innovative beer infused with bacon from Benton’s Country Smokehouse. You can’t go wrong with bacon. This event will take place in the Per Se Private Dining Room and costs $350 per person.
Then again, maybe not. $350 to have your courses paired with beer? I know I can’t actually judge, because I have yet to try this bacon beer, but I can’t imagine that it could really complement any food.
