Tales of the Cocktail Tickets
Tickets are now available for Tales of the Cocktail, and most importantly for me, the spirited dinners. I dashed to the site and saw with glee that I was the first to sign up for a tiki-infused dinner hosted by Beachbum Berry and Wayne Curtis at the Delachaise.
Chef Chris Debarr performed like a wizard last year, enticing my taste buds so effectively that I would have returned even without the promise of exotic cocktails for every course!

Where did you find the descriptions of the dinners? I see them for sale (oddly, as they’re not supposed to be there until 5/1) but I can’t find menus / mixologists listed anywhere.
