| Hey Crü members. Over on DonRockwell.com I asked Chef Brendan Cox of Circle Bistro the following:
Chef Cox,
How do you feel about preparing a special menu, say four to six courses for a group of "wine nuts" who want something to show off the wines they have but don't want to do the cooking themselves when they get together? Assuming of course, that 1) the restaurant will let them bring in a buntch of fine wines for a readonable corkage fee, and 2) they give you plenty of notice and a free hand to match the menu to the wines that they will be having.
He responded:
The one thing I am trying to modify here at the Circle is adding a Degustation menu to the menu itself. I came up doing impromptu tasting menus on an almost daily basis at Equinox and believe that we definitely shine the best with this format. Anyone who wants to have us cook for them is welcome to call or PM me. I generally won't charge a corkage in lieu of an increaesed guranteed service charge, so I can make sure my people are taken care of and the guest is satisfied. If it is a small group one day, so I can order some special ingredients is plenty of notice.
We haven't had a Crü event there yet and I've wanted to. | | | |
