The Heritage Series: Cologne, Germany 🗺️📍🍽️

From the Rhine to the Carolina coast, our Heritage Dinner Series continues with a journey to Chef Brooks' beloved Cologne, Germany — a city that shaped his upbringing and inspired some of his favorite flavors. 🇩🇪🍻

The evening opens with warm Beer Bread crafted with Dark Beer and Kölsch, served with Whipped Herb Butter and Apple-Onion Chutney, followed by a modern interpretation of Himmel un Ääd ("Heaven and Earth"), where Crispy Blood Sausage and Caramelized Apple Purée are hidden beneath delicate Potato Espuma.

The journey continues with Pan-Seared Rhine River Zander finished with a Dill Caviar Beurre Blanc, followed by Braised Rhineland Beef with Juniper-Braised Beef accompanied by Schupfnudeln — hand-rolled Potato Dumplings that are gently boiled and finished with a golden sear — brought together with a rich Raisin Jus.

To conclude, indulge in a classic Kölsche Dessert of Apple & Almond Tart with Marzipan Cream and Vanilla Sauce. 🍎

Each course is thoughtfully paired with distinctive German wines including Riesling, Elbling, Grauburgunder, Spätburgunder, and Auslese, or may be enjoyed alongside a crisp, classic Kölsch.

Join us at The Ocean Room as we venture through Chef Brooks' upbringing in Germany and celebrate the city closest to his heart: Cologne. To reserve your seating and earn another stamp on your Culinary Passport, visit https://bit.ly/42ljncC. 🗺️

The experience unfolds with Bauernbrot (Traditional Farmer’s Bread), followed by Rinderroulade (Braised Beef Roulade) and Schwarzwälder Forelle (Black Forest Trout), and culminates in a stunning finale—Schwarzwälder Kirsch Neuinterpretiert, a contemporary ode to Black Forest cake. 🇩🇪
