News from Scout supporter Two Chefs And A Table
Vancouver, BC | On Friday, October 15th, for one night only, Two Chefs and a Table is turning the calendar back to the days of prohibition for a special dinner featuring a set menu matched with cocktails from Vancouver’s cocktail slinging-legend Jay Jones.
The food selections are built on classic early 20th-Century dishes while Jay’s paired drinks list will be deeply rooted in vintage recipes. The room will be transformed for the night to evoke the era with period music, privacy curtains on the door and windows, entry by password and other surprises.
With Jay spending his time on education, consultancy and writing, this will be a rare opportunity to see Jay back behind the wood crafting and slinging cocktails for what’s sure to be a great night of intimate fun, great food and cocktails.
“We were working on a special menu with Jay for a catering client and we were so excited about the results that we thought it was a natural for a night at the restaurant,” said Karl Gregg. “We wanted to hold it on a weekend to allow our customers and staff to really enjoy the full experience of the evening.”
There will be two seatings for this special evening and reservations are strongly recommended. The cost per person is $65 (not including tax and tip). Call 778-233-1303 or email [email protected] for reservations.
