The GOODS from Wildebeest

Vancouver, BC | Wildebeest’s Ashley Kurtz, Melanie Witt and Josh Blumenthal invite you to experience the aromas, tastes and textures of winter in the Pacific Northwest at their second culinary event. Offering up a surprise eight course dinner with beverage pairings, ‘Elementa’ explores a modern approach to cooking in our region. Following autumn’s Elementa (one) at The Acorn, Elementa (two) is on Monday, February 17th at Ask For Luigi (305 Alexander St. in Railtown). Guest can expect an 8-course surprise tasting menu with curated beverage pairings from Wildebeest sommelier Justin Everett.

Using exclusively local ingredients sourced from small producers and organic farms, the focus of this second dinner will be on shellfish, which peak in winter months. The food style is minimalist new-Cascadian, using modern and classic cooking techniques to highlight the provenance of the ingredients. The goal is for guests to taste and explore time and place in the evolution of the cuisine of the Pacific Northwest. Tickets are very limited (only 20 seats) and include dinner, beverages, tax and gratuity at $140. For more info contact through Facebook or send an email to elementa[at][email protected].
