Menu

Once again, Aimee and I have not finalized it yet. We promise a summer menu that will remind you of summers by the beach as a little kid. Killer shark not included, unless of course we make it into a ceviche. We will update it as soon as we have the details.

Reservations

Reservations are required. Space is limited to 16 people. When booking please make sure to change the quantity field to the number of people in your party. In the note section let us know if there are any food restrictions anyone in your party has.

IF IT RAINS: If it rains dinner is still on. Although we will not have the giant outdoor screen, we will move the festivities inside and continue with the feast and the film.

More on Reel Tasty:

Reel Tasty Brooklyn is an expansion of the dinner’s we hosted on my back deck in Greenpoint last summer. This summer, we are adding a twist to the delicious food and great company. As the name implies, we will be screening a movie during the meal. Don’t worry, there will still be plenty of time pre-entree to mingle, catchup and meet some new friends. Once the sun goes down we will role the film in all its two story high glory. This is an experiment, so we are not sure how much silence or chatting will go on. That’s for you to decide.

As for the cooking, I have some help this year. My friend Aimee has jumped at the chance to cook for all of you and has not wasted anytime creating some delicious menu items. Aimee’s passion for food goes way back. You can check out her culinary exploits here. She has already taught me a thing or two about how to spice up a recipe and tone down a dessert. Trust me you are going to love Aimee and her cooking as much as I do. We hope you will come out and enjoy yourselves with us this summer. See you on the deck.

You can check out pics from our last dinner here.

If you can’t make this dinner but want us to send you an invite to the next one send us an email at dinners@forkingtasty.com and we will put you on out special list.

WOW. The third REEL TASTY dinner was last Saturday and we had a great turn out. A few familiar faces graced the table for a second time but the rest were all fresh, hungry peeps. It was touch and go moments before guests started to arrive as an evil cloud loomed over the deck poking its cumulonimbus fingers at us threatening the worst. Thankfully brother wind blew our foe north and the night began without a problem.

As always, we want to thank all our guests for making the evening super special. Aside from the joy we get out of playing around in the kitchen with knives and fresh ingredients, having a great mix of old and new friends breaking bread together is the reason we put on these evenings .

Let me jump back for the first time readers…

Pick the next Reel Tasty film

Our next dinner will be on July 25th. This time we are letting you influence what movie we film. In choosing these three contenders we thought about summer, fun and pure hilarity. Not only did we dig deep to the roots of our childhood summers but we pulled three of the funniest movies from the 80′s of all time. All of them have their charm and are comedy in different ways.

Here is how it will work…
