O’Connell’s Hourglass will be the scene of an elegant cookout, one of the latest rages, recently featured on Top Chef (though I know Chef did not take his inspiration from the popular TV program). The gourmet picnic will offer our city’s foodies a chance to enjoy some fantastic interpretations of classic summer dishes.
The “cookout” will feature the following menu:
New England Crab & Clam Bake ∙ Dry-rubbed Montana Ribeye w/herb butter ∙ Huckleberry Chipotle basted Berkshire Pork Loins ∙ Split Alaskan King Crab Legs ∙ 18-hour Smoked Pork Shoulder with Creole mustard slaw ∙ Steamed Carolina Clams w/sausage, herbs and white wine ∙ Steamed Canadian Wild Mussels w/ baby potatoes and mustard greens ∙ Chef O'Connell’s famous Maine Lobster "mac ‘n’ cheese" ∙ Grilled Baby Red Potato and Horseradish Salad ∙ Grilled Sweet Corn ∙ Grilled Hearts of Romaine w/lemon and anchovy dressing ∙ Green Chili, Bacon, and Smoked Cheddar Spoon Bread ∙ Grilled Summer Vegetables ∙ and more…
The band Dirty Murphy will play and the promotional materials mention that some of the area’s best microbrews will also be available. Ticket prices are only $50 ($45 pre-sale). I suggest you get a pair while you can, the outdoor event has a limited number of “seats” available.
