MB Post chef David LeFevre turns the big 4-0 today and to celebrate he’s planning a very exciting edition of his ‘Can You Dig It?’ guest chef and featured farmers series.
On July 16, he’ll welcome Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo (Animal, Son of a Gun); Matt Molina (Mozza); Steve Samson and Zach Pollack (Sotto); and Zoe Nathan (Rustic Canyon, Huckleberry), who will create a five-course menu featuring fresh produce from Coastal Farms, Windrose Farms and Harry’s Berries.
Why? Because 40 goes great with green.
On the menu:
Jon Shook & Vinny Dotolo: Gem lettuce, pickled beets, bread crumbs, green garlic crème fraîche.
MB Post: Hamachi grilled over white oak with summer tomatoes and bitter green pesto.
Matt Molina: Orecchiette with sausage and swiss chard.
Steve Samson & Zach Pollack: Veal cheek alla vaccinara, bitter chocolate agrodolce, semolina gnocco.
Zoe Nathan: Fresh corn cake with sweet rose creamery corn ice cream and strawberry rhubarb compote. Cookies served with spiked milk.
The cost is $80, or $115 with wine pairing (tax and gratuity not included). Reservations are available for two seatings, 5:45, 6 and 6:15 p.m.; or 8, 8:15 and 8:30 p.m.
