News from Scout supporter Two Chefs And A Table

(Vancouver BC) From November 4th to 7th, Two Chefs and A Table will be offering a very special set menu built around the Ports of Fonseca Guimaraens whose history in Port production stretches back to 1822. This not only promises to be a fascinating, delicious meal but it will also feature unconventional coursing to best match the unique sugar and alcohol content of the fine Fonseca Ports.

The principal course of Piri Piri Portuguese spice Polderside chicken will be served first to provide diner with a solid base in their stomach before the rest of the courses and Ports. With appetite satisfied, the succeeding courses will diminish in size throughout the dinner will focus on full flavours paired with the range of wines offered. As found in French or Japanese cuisine and popularized by Susur Lee, soup will be served immediately before the dessert course to clear and refresh the palate.

The wines have been carefully selected by Michael Godin of Pacific Wines and Spirits and will highlight the range of tastes and vintages of this famous and often misunderstood style of wine. Developed roughly 400 years ago for the British drinkers who were in the midst of a trade embargo with the rest of Europe, Port wines are stronger than conventional wines (up to 20 per cent alcohol) and can be either bottle or barrel aged.

The price for this meal is $60 per person (excluding tax and tip). For reservations and more information on this dinner or Two Chefs and A Table, please email [email protected] or phone 778-233-1303.
