Dinner with Tom Colicchio on Monday November 1st

Attention all Top Chef fans, Craft Chef/Owner Tom Colicchio will be in town on Monday November 1st and you are invited to join him for dinner at the LA branch of Craft. Colicchio recently returned from a trip to South Australia and apparently the voyage inspired him as he will create a five course tasting menu for the evening featuring local Australian delicacies, including rock lobster tails. No word yet on whether the menu will include kangaroo or emu.

The dinner will focus on some of the great wine producers of South Australia and each course will be paired with a wine from the region. Colicchio will also be dishing about his vacation including swimming with bluefin tuna and exploring Kangaroo Island. Expect some tales about his Top Chef television experiences and the challenges and adventures of running a growing restaurant empire.

This intimate dinner is $250 per person all inclusive. The reception begins at 6:30 pm and the dinner at 7 pm. Reservations can be made by emailing Anna Morini at amorini@craftlosangeles.com

You should have had plenty of time to recover from your Halloween merriment by Monday evening, so be there or be square. And no, I won't save any kangaroo jerky for you if you can't make it.
