Here are a few upcoming local food events we thought you all might enjoy!
• This Thursday, July 26, Pub and Kitchen is hosting a beer dinner with Bell’s Brewery. Now we realize that Bell’s isn’t local, but the menu they’re serving to accompany the brews is bursting with ingredients from the area. It includes a crudo made from New Jersey fluke (with radishes and sorrel from Blue Moon Acres), a salad of baby arugula, grilled peaches and Jersey tomatoes, and a roast chicken dish served with silver queen corn and hen of the woods mushrooms. This four course, four beer dinner costs $40 and you can sign up by emailing events@thepubandkitchen.com.
• Starting August 1 and running through to the end of the month, Penne (at the Inn at Penn) will be offering a Tomato Tasting Menu in partnership with New Jersey’s Cherry Lane Farm. They’re offering a $16 lunch menu (2 courses) or a $30 dinner menu (3 courses). What’s more, they also offering complimentary valet parking to anyone dining at Penne. Just print the menu that we’ve inserted after jump to claim your free parking.
