ABODE POP UP: dinner at The Old Bowery Station (chef from The Taste)

Dear Food Diary:
A couple Fridays ago, I emailed my monthly dinner buddies J, J and C to try out this new Abode Pop Up dinner. Right inside the subway entrance of the old, abandoned Bowery Station, Chefs Gregg and Sarah created their version of comfort food Abode Family Style. Tickets were purchased through Eventbrite for $75 (5 course + wine pairing). Seating was limited to 10 people per service with only 4 services a night.
Fast forward a week, while watching the first episode of The Taste, I see non other than Gregg Drusinsky on tv! He looked so familiar and then I realized it was the Gregg, that really friendly and fun chef from the pop up! I was so excited to see him chosen for Ludo’s team. Then it all made sense. Chef, tv reality cooking show, pop up dinner… I see he’s following his mentor Ludo’s path.
Check out the dinner and find the recipe of their awesome salad below…
City Bakery Annual Hot Chocolate Festival
We’re almost half way there, but there’s still some interesting flavors I want to try! Creamy stout, black rum and darkest dark are calling my name and I must answer.
Food Acts: A Play
I got invited to see this tasty new play. The show is tonight, but the weather isn’t pretty, so we’ll see… fingers crossed. From what I’ve read, the storyline seems interesting right? A play about food? Who would of thought. A play served on a plate =)
