Schwein And Steins: Celebrate Pork And Beer For A Cause At The Radler
By Melissa McEwen in Food on Mar 19, 2015 7:30PM
Next Tuesday, March 24 at 6:30 p.m., The Radler and Farm Butcher Table are hosting a Schwein and Steins dinner at The Radler to benefit Growing Home. The menu by Chef Nathan Sears and guest chef Kevin Willmann of Farmhaus Restaurant in St. Louis, Missouri, will be centered around the Mangalitsa pork raised by Farm Butcher Table in Iowa. And it will be paired with drink from Lagunitas Brewing and Chicago Distilling Company.
Mangalitsa are known for being adorably wooly and also because their meat is much more fatty than regular pork. Don't worry, you don't eat the wool, but you will eat this delicious menu:
1st course, The Radler
Evening bread “Abendbrot”
Rye bread, buckwheat bread, oat and dill bread, pretzels
Cherry mustard, smokey mustard, pickle salad
Smoked ham, ham stuffed potato dumplings, kassler rippchen (smoked pork loin)
2nd course, FarmHaus
Knockwurst, apple braised sauerkraut
Sweet and sour lentils
Marinated mushrooms
3rd course, FarmHaus
Pork belly Schweinbraten, pickled white asparagus
Bread dumplings, smoked trotter broth
Smashed carrots
4th course, The Radler
Bee Sting cake, pork fat pastry cream, roasted apples, oat and pork skin crumble
We've been to a couple of Farm Butcher Table events and we can confirm the pork is amazing. And it's only $65, which is a deal considering the amount of food and the pairings you'll receive.
