The long-awaited 'Dark Dinner' Association is coming just in time for early sunsets and the changing of the leaves. UNION/PINE and Merit Badge will be hosting their October 20th chef + speaker dinner series in near darkness with Cyril's at Clay Pigeon Winery and Heide Island, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Behavioral Neuroscience at Pacific University.
The evening will undoubtedly carry the same warm vibe and familial spirit of past Association gatherings, but will be unlike any previous dinner as it has been designed with lab-like experiences to wake up the senses and have a little fun with touch, smell, sound, sight, and naturally, taste.
The offerings from Michael Claypool and Sasha Davies of Cyril's will feature a main course of Mediterranean meatballs or eggplant involtini (vegetarian option), chickpea salad, and Parsi eggplant pickle on socca, with wine pairings by our friends at Casa Bruno.
Heide will be discussing the science behind sensation versus perception, while we explore the brain and enjoy a guided adventure through the 5 senses.
The ice cream experts at Salt + Straw have teamed up with the brew masters at Base Camp on a dessert to compliment the dark theme and treat the sense of taste - a special edition Smore Stout ice cream.
Next Up :
Gregory Gourdet of Departure will design a menu for our partnership with Edible Portland and Minto Island Growers on the third Sunday of November for the final Association of the year. We will be back in Janurary with Racion chef Anthony Cafiero, and in March, will reboot the pairing of Olt Salt/Grain & Gristle with Justin Lewis that was postponed from September.
