Here in LA, there is a distinct love affair going on among foodies and those who love spirits. Often, you find that foodies have a specific fondness for pairing dinners and today I am sharing one of the most interesting ones I have heard of lately. This one is going to be hosted at Tam O’Shanter restaurant in Los Feliz and the spirit is TEELING WHISKEY!! This true Irish Whiskey (made by a small indie Irish brand that was founded by 2 brothers in Ireland).
WHAT:
On Wednesday, May 25, Tam O’Shanter will host a very special dining event featuring a four-course meal created by executive chef Juan Escamilla with select whiskey pairings for each dish from the award-winning Teeling Whiskey Company. Teeling’s ambassador Aiden McNally will be on hand to talk about each pairing and the distillery’s history and craft.

The exceptional whiskey pairing dinner will include:
· First Course (head cheese & toast with Dijon mustard paired with a single malt);
· Second Course (melon salad with pork cracklins and chili pepper paired with small batch);
· Entrée Course (porchetta with summer squash and corn pudding paired with single grain); and
· Dessert (devils on horseback cake with bacon caramel and chantilly paired with traditional Irish Coffee) (It might include The Revival.. or not. There have to be some surprises. I am just guessing here, so don’t hold the Tam O’Shanter to this potential pairing)
Based in Dublin, Ireland, Teeling is an independent Irish whiskey company dedicated to bringing choice and breadth back to the Irish whiskey category. http://teelingwhiskey.com/

HOW FUN!!! I like whiskey, but have little experience with Irish brands. I am sure that the pairings will be enhanced by each other, and there will be some culinary discoveries. I would love to go.
