Celebrating South Africa and the World Cup for the benefit of Soccer Without Borders

$55 per person, wine pairing $35 additional

South African cooking is arguably the greatest of world’s undiscovered cuisines. In the west of the country comes the distinctive Cape Malay style that is a fascinating blend of Eastern (Malaysian), European (Dutch, English, German, and French), and African cooking traditions. In the eastern part of the country, Indian, English, and Germanic influences are added to the African mix to create a wholly unique and delicious set of flavors.

This Father’s Day, with South Africa presently on the world’s stage, we are celebrating Executive Chef Lizzie Binder’s heritage and her father’s early influence getting her into the kitchen with a South African feast to support Soccer Without Borders. Wine pairings selected by owner Christopher Losa (who once was no slouch on the pitch, himself) will be international in scope to pay tribute to the diversity of the teams playing; they will include Slovenian and Austrian white wines and Italian, French and Spanish red wines.

A 4-course menu inspired by Lizzie’s ancestral home in Durban and influenced by her travels and professional cooking throughout her home country. We are excited to share this set of flavors with you and to support the inspiring cause of Soccer Without Borders in the process. On this evening 15% of our sales will be donated to Soccer Without Borders. And if you give $20 or more additional we’ll surprise you with a memorable take-home South African treat.
