Cooked, Corked and Poured featuring NODA Brewing Company!!!! What an evening! My first 6 star review. A totally incredible epicurean adventure. Cedric, the manager at Wolfgang Puck, and Andy, a brewmaster from NODA, were amazing hosts. Along with the hard work of the event planner and our two "spot on" waitresses, they made us feel like royalty. And of course, duh, who could forget the amazing chef who prepared all of the great food.
The scene was set with a long rustic table to seat a party of twenty out on the winterized patio. Pops of color from giant zinnias on the tables. Rustic dinnerware and glasses. First up, half price signature cocktails. The Grilled Pineapple Mojitos were out of this world and the Limonatas had a sweet sparkly kick.
Each course was paired with the NODA beer that inspired it.
Baby Beet Salad with CAVU Blonde
Prosciutto Wrapped Monkfish with Jam Session
Coco and Malt Rubbed Strip Loin with Coco-Loco Porter
Fall Spice Cake and NODA Gordgeous Gelato with Gordgeous-Pumkin Ale
Before each course Andy would talk about the beer, its ingredients and manufacture.
Intensely amazing food and incredibly delicious, crisp clean beers. A perfect evening in my book from the moment we got there to the moment we left. Bravo Cedric, Andy and all who made this a night to remember! Can't wait for the encore!
