"Breakfast" course[edit]

If possible, lets start the day with those grilled ratatouille sandwiches from Bakery Nouveau!

Beer and Peanuts course[edit]

  • Hazy IPA (ideally Crux or Cloudburst)
  • Salted peanuts in the shell

Appetizer Course[edit]

Baha fish tacos!

- Crispy plant-based battered fish - creamy jalapeno slaw - cilantro - pico de gallo - a lime wedge

Tapas course[edit]

The tapas course will include three different simple dishes that I had on my travels this last year.

1. Mixed cheese yaki (ミックスチーズ焼き)[edit]

Mixed cheese yaki from 「鉄板バル SOURCE」

Ingredients:

- base is a simple crepe - the top is just a generous helping of mixed shreeded cheese (jack + cheddar) - top is just pepper

2. Mushrooms and eggs[edit]

A very simple wild mushroom dish similar to what we had at Le Venecia in Madrid. Three ingredients: (1) very good olive oil, (2) mushrooms, (3) eggs from El Cisne Azul. Here's a simple picture.

Another photo is on Tripadvisor here that looks more like what we got.

3. Gazpacho soup[edit]

We had a delicious gazpacho soup at Achuri in Madrid. It was incredibly creamy and I think the trick was (a) extremely good olive oil, and (b) bread. Let's try this recipe: https://tasteoftheplace.com/gazpachoandaluz/

  • 3 pounds (about 6 medium) ripe tomatoes, cored
  • 1 small cucumber, peeled, halved, and seeded
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, halved, cored and seeded
  • 1 small red onion, peeled and halved
  • 2 medium garlic cloves, peeled and quartered
  • 1 small serrano chile, stemmed and halved lengthwise
  • Kosher Salt (see note)
  • 1 slice High-Quality White Sandwich Bread, crust removed, torn into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil, plus extra for serving
  • 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar, plus extra for serving (see note)
  • 2 tablespoons finely minced parsley, chives, or basil leaves
  • ground black pepper

Salad Course[edit]

We'll have a salad with:

  • shredded carrots,
  • red cabbage
  • grapes
  • feta
  • mixed greens
  • pepitas
  • walnuts
  • quinoa

This is the dressing: https://cookieandkate.com/fresh-mint-dressing-recipe/

Main Course[edit]

Collard green melt sandwich from the Turkey and Wolf (NOLA): https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/the-collard-green-melt

Pictures:

We can use the slaw for this sandwich and the tacos.

Drinks[edit]

Sakura Martini[edit]

Recipe: https://kindredcocktails.com/cocktail/sakura-martini

2 1⁄2 oz Sake
1 oz Gin
1⁄4 oz Maraschino Liqueur
+ garnish w/ pickled sakura

My comments: "Definitely 5★ in terms of looks. Taste is simple and sake forward. I would add a pinch of salt before mixing, especially if using fresh Sakura (which is even better looking)."

Early Bird[edit]

Recipe: https://kindredcocktails.com/cocktail/early-bird

2 oz Rum, Plantation 3 Star
3⁄4 oz Simple syrup (skinny)
3⁄4 oz Lime juice
1 Cherry (Klug Farm, Pitted, Muddled)
1 rinse Coffee liqueur, Bittermens New Orleans Coffee

My comments: "A shockingly good daiquiri." (5)

Akoya[edit]

Recipe: https://kindredcocktails.com/cocktail/akoya

  • 1 1⁄2 oz Japanese Whisky (Yamakura)
  • 1 oz Sloe gin (Plymouth)
