MUSIC-PAIRED MENU
Chef Torrey designs each dish to be a direct reflection of the music Gilbert has curated, paired to the inflection, to the melody, to the chords and artist, instrumentation, and history of the tunes. Every detail is researched and studied, there is nothing superfluous, and each dish will resonate in it's relationship to the evening's music selections!
Each event provides the context for a multi-sensory art experience; be it an exploration of the history of Jazz from traditional African cuisine and it's evolution into the American lexicon or a deep delve into Latin Jazz through the food cultures of Latin America, each culinary representation of the music is a fully composed bespoke dish created specifically to underscore the tunes for the evening.
As usual, Chef's menu is based entirely on sustainable practices; locally sourced, farmed and/or caught product from farmers and fishermen with whom we maintain close relationships and who's offerings direct all menu design.We adhere to the ethos that organic ethical practices make better food.
