Chef Adam Bresnahan
4118 Kitchen + Bar’s Chef Adam Bresnahan and his kitchen staff will be serving up their finest creations for a Bourbon Dinner on Saturday, November 13.
“Lots of people prefer to talk about the complexity and nuances of different wine varietals based on terroir – I think we can do the same thing based on bourbon and hopefully broaden guests’ palate,” says Bresnahan. “This region has a rich history in all things bourbon, so to me it just makes sense to serve it alongside other regional products.
“So the bourbon dinner came to me when first coming on as Executive chef at 4118 Kitchen + Bar as an idea to just do something a little different and stand out from the other longtime names in the culinary scene of Highlands known for hosting wine dinners during HFW.
“Bourbon along with the products found both locally and regionally being paired together to highlight components of each other was almost a no brainer and tends to be one of my favorite dinners to do throughout the year.”
So what has Bresnahan cooked up for his Wine Dinner patrons?
For the first course, guests will be served Roasted Corn and Shrimp Salad (Bell Pepper, Avocado, Pickled Shallot, Cilantro Vinaigrette, Masa Croutons, and Breckenridge Bourbon.)
For the second course, it’s Grilled Georgia Quail, Cherries, Tobacco, and Parsnip, paired with Jefferson Reserve.
Then it’s Heritage Breed Pork Belly, Cheerwine, Smoked Blue Cheese Polenta, Green Tomato Gremolata, accompanied by Whistle Pig Farmstock.
For the fourth course, the kitchen delivers Slow Roasted Margaret Duck Breast, Ivory Lentils, Cauliflower, Butternut Squash, Crispy Brussels, Smoked Bourbon Jus, and Whistle Pig 15 Year.
Finally, sated diners will be seduced by Burnt Sugar Pound Cake, Popcorn Ice Cream, Caramel, Macerated Fruit, and a generous pour of 4 Roses Small Batch Select.
Cost of the evening is $140 per guest, plus tax and gratuity. For reservations, go to 4118kitchen-bar.com.
