Who doesn’t like to wine and dine? Of course we all do, but with our purse strings tight right now, killing two birds with one stone is key when it comes to having fun and spending your hard earned dosh.
Well, wining and dining for a cause is a great way to kill the bird and what better a location that glorious Las Olas Blvd!
teal BISTRO AMERICAN at 1103 East Las Olas on Thursday, October 22nd starting at 6.30pm will be the first to host a Wine Dinner Fund Raiser for the Las Olas Street Beautification. Purvin Pujara is excited to host the first dinner and give back to Las Olas Blvd and the community. He is thrilled that Winemaker Anthony Bell will be on site to preside over five course dinner and pair it off with exquisite wines.
The mouthwatering menu prepared by teal BISTRO AMERICANA Executive Chef Christian Clausen includes: Pass Around’s of mini baked citrus crab cake, prosciutto with gorgonzola, arugula, currants and pine nuts and asparagus and wild mushroom tarts complimented with Bell 2007 Sauvignon Blanc, Lake County. First course is smoked Rainbow Trout with fingerling potatoes, watercress and tarragon vinaigrette along wit Bell 2007 Chardonnay, Napa Valley. Second Course; crispy Sweetbreads with hand-cut pappardella, Oyster Mushrooms, caramelized onions, in a Brandy Creole Mustard Sauce, paired with Bell 2005 Merlot, Napa Valley. Are you salivating yet? Followed by a main course (yes more); Cabernet braised boneless short rib with parsnip, carrot puree, pea shoots and Cabernet reduction and Bell 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon, Nappa Valley and for the Finale a Concord grape and goat cheese cheesecake with Bell 2006 Syrah, Sierra Foothills. Voila! Doesn’t that sound simply delectable?
The proceeds of these dinners will be earmarked to complete the funding for a new median East of Himmarshee Canal. Much of the money has already been raised through a grant from the city and support of several businesses on both sides of the canal and with the hard work of the Las Olas Association.
