Chef Christopher Davis-Murai of the Thirsty Fork inside Oak Park Brewery created a 4 course Dinner with Coffee as an ingredient in each course on Sat July 12th. Using our Direct Relationship Coffees from Los Popitos in Honduras, Finca La Merced in Guatemala, and Cerro San Luis in Costa Rica, Chef Davis-Murai and his team created dishes that highlighted the coffees intrinsic flavors. We started with a Champagne Cocktail made with a cascara syrup by Edie and our Nitro Coffees of course. The Dinner included a Coffee glazed black bean tartlet, Grilled endive with Coffee Caesar dressing (that Chef should bottle and sell), Coffee & Apricot Lamb shanks and ended with a orange/coffee sugar spun ricotta cheese cake. Guests made new friends, learned more about specialty coffee ate and drank themselves thru an outstanding evening. Stay tuned for more pop up dinners here at the Roastery.
