In this day and age, we get so many e-mails about recession specials and low-priced prix fixes, it’s enough to make our heads spin. Sometimes these meals are too good to pass up, like Butter’s 7th birthday celebration, while other “deals” are still dizzyingly expensive. File this next deal in the first category. It’s no secret that I have a massive food crush on David Burke, and when I saw the latest in the Beverage Series Dinners at David Burke at Bloomingdale’s, I honestly thought it was too good to be true.
Next Wednesday, this venerable chef is offering a four-course tasting menu paired with cocktails featuring Inocente Tequila. Now this isn’t your average, one-item-per-course tasting menu. This is more like a free-for-all. The meal will be served tapas style, with at least two amazing-sounding dishes per course. Offerings include mahi mahi shrimp and scallop ceviche, red snapper paella, and banana donuts with dulce de leche and jalapeño. The whole shebang (7 small plates, 2 desserts, and 4 cocktails) will set you back a measly $42 (plus tax and tip). Now that’s a deal we can’t miss!
