The Manhattan Project

The Manhattan Project – a guest post by Bear A few of us have recently been inspired by the CMH Gourmand to turn a recreational evening or two into a quest for quality cocktails.  The Gourmand’s evening of Mojito Madness, while fun, got very confusing in the face of countless variations, so we decided to choose a well-known standard, the Manhattan:  in its most classic form, two parts whiskey, one part vermouth, a dash of bitters, stirred and served up rather than on the rocks. To keep our wits about us, we spread six Manhattans over two nights.  We developed […]

DeepWood hosted ‘The Pig Who Went to Market’ dinner on Monday night. To be precise there were two prime Ohio hogs involved in the preparation of this 7 course porcine feast and DeepWood is a restaurant. But otherwise the name was fitting, this dinner was truly a celebration of all parts pig. A true snout to tail meal, it had been months in the planning and involved 5 chefs as well as beer and wine experts to select the pairings. I have been to several dinners that pair wines and beers with food, including one excellent one at DeepWood last […]
