Kwanzachamas, LTH Holiday Party 2010: Julbord at Tre Kroner, 12/4
Date: Saturday, December 4
Time: 8PM-12AM
Place: Tre Kroner,3258 W. Foster, Chicago
I'm sure there are winter holiday festivals in exotic places like Nigeria, Samoa and California, but there's something about the snowy Scandinavia countries that makes them seem perfect locales for gathering around candles and tannenbaums.
The Julbord at Tre Kroner is special. I've been there a few times, and there are few places that have quite the same holiday vibe: the place is very warm and cozy, candle-lit and homey, like having dinner in your Swedish aunt's apartment.
Menu. This year, we're having the usual Swedish smorgasbord, supplemented by a few off-menu specials (TBA) that our hosts Larry and Patty Anderson are secretly planning (the illustrious Bridgestone made some recs, which may be part of the final menu). Here's a list of what will be available (there are always last-minute changes):
• Glass Blower's Herring
• Mustard Herring
• Herbed Herring
• Matjes Herring
• Curried Herring
• Christmas Herring
• Hus Fru Herring
• Tomato Herring
• Gravad Lax
• Smoked Salmon
• Pickled Beets
• Pickled Cucumbers
• New Potatoes
• Oysters on the Half Shell
• Jumbo Tail-on Shrimp
• Citrus Salad
• Potato Salad
• Assorted Scandinavian Cheeses
• Assorted Scandinavian Cold Meats
• Prinskorv
• Potatiskorv
• Braised Red Cabbage
• Christmas Ham
• Meatballs
• Creamed Spinach
• Roast Pork with Prunes
• Janasson's Frestlese
• Biff a la Lindstrom & Lutefisk
• Rice Pudding
• Burnt Custard
• Petit Fours
• Cookies
• Clementines
• Assorted Nuts
Immediately prior to our 8PM seating, Patty and Larry will host a little warm gloog around an open fire in the newly built Scandinavian outdoor patio area behind the restaurant.
As a gesture of good will to our community, Templeton is providing enough of their rye and Carpano Antica to make 200 Manhattans – and Three Floyds is kicking in a keg of Alpha King. You can bring your own akavit, Swedish bitter snaps, vino or whatever tickles you.
Tickets. Tickets are set at $68, and that includes dinner (+booze), tax, tip, and a few dollars toward the LTH picnic permit next year. As in years past, all ticket sales will go through Brown Paper Tickets (small transaction fee required). Just go to the site and enter your information. Ticket sales close at noon, December 2, 2010. Once you're paid, we'll get updates from Brown Paper Tickets and we'll enter your name on the guest list. Seating is limited to 90.
Tickets are non-refundable though they are transferrable, so if you buy a ticket and your plans change, you can sell your ticket to anyone you want.
Gift Exchange. For the raffle/gift exchange, all gifts go into a pool and names are drawn. If you bring a gift, you get a ticket and are guaranteed one gift in exchange. We've set the price for each gift around $10. Please don't wrap the gift -- we like to see what people are winning before they win it -- but please do put your name (real name or screen name or both) on the gift so that lucky winners know who to thank.
St. Lucia. Yes, she will be there, singing with candles on her head.
