Miller Union Chef de Cuisine Justin Burdett has teamed up with Empire State South’s Ryan Smith, STG Trattoria’s Josh Hopkins and Octopus Bar’s Nhan Le and Angus Brown for “An Offal Good Time”, a white trash-themed reception and four-course meal focused on organ meat. Expect brains, lungs, hearts and more.
Held on March 25 from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m., the event begins with Cheerwine and moonshine cocktails and “red-neck” bar snacks like boiled peanuts and lil’ smokies with grape jelly and mustard, and pears with mayo and cheddar. Once they’ve loosened you up, you’ll be more apt to try the amuse bouche of cod sperm poached in sake and "baconed" hog brains (they hope). The meal clocks in at $83.
