BBQ Blowout Festival

Nothing screams summer like a dance block party with stellar food and music. Finger on the Pulse (the twin team of Darin & Greg Bresnitz) brings this to you August 6th at City Winery.

What makes the food stellar? Only that they will be the creations of 10 standout NYC chefs: Sam Mason (Tailor / Empire Mayo / Lady Jays), Phillip Kirschen-Clark (Vandaag), Christina Tosi (Momofuku Milk Bar), Sam Talbot (Imperial No 9 / Surf Lodge), NoahBernamoff (Mile End), Thomas Kelly & David Schillace (Mexicue), Jenny McCoy (Craft), TimSullivan (Jazz at Lincoln Center's Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola), Daniel Holzman (The MeatballShop) and Oliver Kremer & Tyler Lohman (Dos Toros). Not too shabby.

FIRST COURSE
The Ultimate French Fries

Let’s take a minute and learn about a stick-to-your ribs dish hailing from our neighbors to the north, Quebec, Canada. Poutine is French fries doused in hearty gravy and sprinkled with fresh cheese curds. This may sound like a simple dish or it may even sound unappetizing, but do yourself a favor and never say that to a Quebecer. You see, poutine isn’t just French fries but it’s comfort food for Quebecers. It was voted the national dish of Canada by Globe and Mail readers. It’s also the go-to snack after a night of serious drinking. Nothing like greasy, cheesy fries to soak up the alcohol.
