PushStart Kitchen
June 15th


I'd have to say that one of the most fulfilling things about what we get to do each week, aside from cooking whatever food suits our fancy, is getting to connect with the amazing people of ATL!  And every once in a while, a really great collaboration comes out of it!  This weekend we're going to pairing up with Camp Beer Co-op to serve a summertime BEER DINNER (no we won't be serving Schlitz)!  Our menu is written around a set of really great beers brewed especially for the evening.  Sounds amazing right?!  We've done some extensive quality checks, and you can trust me when I tell you that the beers are (hic) dang good!  Y'all come drink...and eat!


MENU:
(includes BEER pairings)


-Cocktails+canapes
-Onions fried/charred/candied, avocado, ruby red grapefruit, backyard heirloom cucumber, basil mayonnaise, GA olive oil
-Spotted Trotter beer brat, peaches dried/pickled/grilled, pretzel puree, fennel molasses
-Warm chocolate stout sponge, malt ice cream, stout caramel, black pepper syrup & meringue
-Candy + cordial

We'd love to have you come but in order for you to receive an invite, you have to sign up for our mailing list in the little subscribe box to the right.  After that, you've just gotta be quick in responding.  I'm thinking that maybe this dinner is going to sell out faster that usual.  Call it a PushStart hunch
