As some of you know, or maybe not, a long time ago I was in the U.S. Army Special Operations, so this events charity is The Wounded Warrior Project. So let’s celebrate together and honor & help our wounded veterans!



Let’s Go Crazy Menu:

Asparagus Terrine with Goat Cheese Puree

Sweet Corn Soup with Sautéed Scallop & Shellfish Oil

Grilled Vegetable Salad with Balsamic Syrup

Magical Crab Cake with Trio of Sauces

Grilled Filet Mignon with Mashed Yucca & Tamarind Red Wine Reduction

I am a fine dining chef and am trying to start a new underground restaurant called www.SOYLENTFUCHSIA.com. I need the support of local foodies. I have a dinner party planned for 6/27 and need you to attend. Be the first to experience my new style of fine food made from only the finest local and organic ingredients. I am bringing elements from molecular gastronomy restaurants like Alinea to an intimate and relaxed dinner party setting. I will prepare an amazing multi course menu using Sous Vide and will explain the modern techniques between courses. Tell your friends about my new adventure in culinarian. It will be the best way to spend the weekend evening with friends and converse with like minded people. BYOB means you can enjoy an evening out and won’t be over charged for drinks like other places. Please support the local economy. Thanks, Andrew Curtis Forlines

I am starting a new and awesome supper club at the new Kitchen Chicago facility. If you have never tried Sous Vide and molecular gastronomy, this will be a real treat.
I am going to use the newfangled tools and toys of 'alinea' and 'moto':
Immersion Circulator, Sous Vide vacuum bags, Smoke Gun, Tapioca Maltodextrin, Versawhip 600K, mixed with classic techniques and utilizing only the finest local and seasonal ingredients.

Great, lets start kicking around some dates and creating a list of folks who would be interested. I don't mind spearheading this with organizing things. Let's start by everyone who is interested sending me a email with there Name, Contact info, level of involvement from chef down to diner. Also what days are looking good to your all calenders- tripp@twistedfood.com / 312-953-4531, Tripp Rion

love the spring harvest idea, featuring local farms, on the beach. we could either do tables in the sand with white table cloths and candle light or blankets on the grass near the grill. thoughts?
Tripp Rion Comment by Tripp Rion on April 15, 2009 at 10:34am
Hi Jose and Rebecca, this sounds like a good idea to me too! You see people cooking out on the lake at montrose. How about a week day early evening. We could grill out, maybe use a theme of spring harvest, featuring local farms.-keep the ball rolling- anyone else want to jump in with ideas? tripp@twistedfood.com
