REEL TASTY Rear Window

Saturday, June 5th at 8pm. Bringing a bit of California to the BK. Aimee and I are bringing a special twist to this months dinner. We partnered up with our good buddy Jack to bring you some of the spectacular and rare wines mentioned in the movie. In between scenes, as you eat and sip, Jack will impart some vino knowledge and pose some wine facts vs film fiction while pouring the next flight. In the meantime, Aimee and I will have some delicious food pairings that are inspired by these delightfully fermented grapes. We will also draw on the fresh and simple flavors from southern California to complete the menu. We are feeling some lamb, maybe some risotto and the dessert on this one…whoa, hold onto your forks! We have been planning this one for a long time. The idea that when Paul Giamatti drinks so will you was too good a daydream to not make reality. For those aficionados, the wines will include Sanford, Fiddlehead, Byron, and Hitching Post, heavy on the Pinot Noir.

The original Kong underneath his favorite building. That’s right, this dinner is on a roof just under the Empire State Building. How fitting for the movies climactic ending. Better yet, we have an amazing 5 course tasting menu prepared. While your tastebuds explore the 5 boroughs you’ll be comfortably seated in this epic movie’s finale location. How can you pass this up? Grab a seat while they last.

We know you guys have awesome food experiences just like us. It’s time you let ’em out. We want to unlock those pent up tales of tasty and share them with everyone. How? We’re not 100% sure yet but we know it involves a little eating and a little talking. If you’re interested in sharing your story please fill out the below. Keep it short. We’ll be in touch for your epic stories details. For now just give us the basics in 200 words or less.

For example: Last year in Peru, I ate the best burger of my life in Cusco, of all places, and then I was romanced by the waiter who took me to a house party beyond my wildest dreams. To his chagrin I did not sleep with him but I did spend the rest of the week letting him take me to locals only hot spots. 

From gladiators to Vespas. Here’s the skinny on the fat. Our next dinner is a pure classic. How could you go wrong with Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck in Italy circa 1953? Rhetorical. You can’t! My grandfather is from a small town just south of Rome named Fondi. No visit to Rome is complete without a stop at the old citrus farm they had down there. Expect a little influence from this little town in the menu. Hopefully the food and the film will inspire you to take your own Roman Holiday soon. There is no line at the vatican in early December. Shhhh.ut and enjoy yourselves with us this summer. See you on the deck.
