Do you love scotch? Sevy's Grill
will have a Scotch Club tasting this evening from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
featuring five premium whiskys and a complementary dish for
each.
Dishes and drinks include crispy 5-spice duck cigars
(sounds classier than "duck taquitos," no?) with apricot ginger dipping
sauce with Dalmore 12 and ginger ale; prosciutto, ricotta and basil
fritatta with Glenfiddich 12; Ahi tuna tartar with Glenfiddich 15;
griddled buffalo small sandwiches (they use the disturbing "s" word) with Lagavulin 16; and Godiva
chocolate creme brulee with Glenlivet 12 French Oak.
And, at
$44.95 a person, it's cheaper than a lot of wine and even beer dinners
in town. Here it goes. Down into your belly. Reservations (required) are available at 214-265-7389.
Also going on this week ...
Roy Williams will try to catch more passes tonight than Marvin Harrison caught all season in 2002. At a Frisco Pizza Hut
(9550 Dallas Parkway), Williams will sign footballs ($5 donation for
mini, $40 for regulation size) to raise funds for world hunger relief.
If you've bought one of the signed balls, you can then throw it to him.
Presumably he'll give it back. Kelly Buckley, chief food innovation
officer (no, we did not make up that title) will also be on hand to
lead diners through tastings of new WingStreet wing flavors.
Japanese master chef Akira Inoue will demonstrate the art of making soba noodles 7 p.m. Tuesday at 2009's Best Noodle-winning Tei-An. Reservations and information are at 214-220-2828.
Nana
will feature Revana Family Vineyard wines beginning with a 7 p.m.
reception Thursday. Dishes include seared sea scallops, duck breast,
filet of beef and bleu cheese with pears. Vineyard owner Dr. Madaiah
Revana will be on hand. Revana left a successful cardiology practice to
create wines--so if you try the old
fake-a-heart-attack-to-get-out-of-paying gag, it probably won't fly.
Wouldn't blame you, though, as the cost is $200 (all-inclusive) per
person. Reservations are at 214-761-7470.
This Saturday is the first-ever Taste Of Greenville,
with more than 20 Greenville Avenue-area restaurants--didn't know there were that many left--offering
appetizer-sized portions of their favorite dishes from 11 a.m. to 5
p.m. in the parking lot of the Granada Theater. Bands will include the
Cas Haley trio, King Bucks, Max Stalling, Johnny Lloyd Rollins and
more.
