Owen & Engine Turns 2

ctolley — Wed, 29 Aug 2012 18:19:02 +0000

Friends, please join us to celebrate two taxing and testing, but ultimately delicious, libatious, and rewarding years. While it may be our birthday, it’s the people that frequent our fare and haunt our bar night after night that make it possible and enjoyable.

To that end, we’ll be roasting whole Slagel Farm lambs for a decedent lamb platter replete with terrines, roasts, offal, etc. We’ll provide more details as we approach the event. Bring friends though, as it will be no small offering.

To slake y

our thirst, we’ve arranged for special casks to be filled just for this our anniversary. Offerings from our friends at Greenbush, Solemn Oath, Pipeworks, & Half Acre will be flowing on the engines. And ours will be the only venue pouring them.

The platter will be priced roughly in the mid-$30 range, with beers priced accordingly.

Hope like heck to see you there!

Belgian Family Brewers’ Dinner

ctolley — Fri, 10 Aug 2012 23:48:32 +0000

Belgium has a long history of storied family breweries that have kept traditions alive and spirits high through times both fat and lean. We’re honored to celebrate that history with Wetten Bros., importers of fine craft beers. Chef Kevin & Cicerone Elliott have created a 4-course dinner to showcase the quality and food-friendliness of Belgian Family Beers. The dinner plus beer pairings is $55, and representatives from Wetten will be on hand to discuss the beers and their history.

Course One will be a starter of sauteed green beens, wax beans and heirloom tomatoes paired with Het Anker’s Lucifer Belgian Strong Golden Ale.

For Course Two, we will be bringing you milk-soaked, fried chicken livers and peach mostarda served with Van Honsebrouk’s Bacchus Flanders Oude Bruin.

During Course Three, feast upon a grape curried duck confit, with roasted grapes and lentils tying in with Het Anker’s Gouden Carolus Classic Belgian Strong Dark Ale.

And if that wasn’t enough, Course Four should finish you off with a housemade “candy bar” assembled from dark chocolate, almond nougat vanilla cookie, and a gastrique complemented by Van Honsebrouk’s Kasteel Rouge.

Please call 773.235.2930 to make reservations for this night, and make mention that you will be joining us for the beer dinner. Act fast, space is limited!
