My God, I nearly lost my mind as I worked my way through Bill Buford’s “Heat”, BR’s most recent Food Book Club selection. The relentless temptation provided by the book’s tantalizing tales of delicious Italian delicacies (lardo, anyone?) taunted me from beginning to end. What about you?
For those of you that haven’t been following along, “Heat” chronicles a middle-aged writer’s bumpy ride through the sweaty NYC kitchen of the bold and boisterous Chef Mario Batali.
So the time has come to party, Batali-style! We’d love to have you join us on Tuesday, March 4th at the remarkable Digiulio & Company for some great food (and it’s free, too), drink specials, and games all in the name of the Great Mario–oh yeah, and we’ll talk about the book some, too.
We have only 15 pairs of tickets to give away, so here’s how you can win a pair of tickets to this raucous event (whether you read “Heat” or not).
1.We’re hoping that you’ve read the book. If you did, send the answer to the following question along with your full name to YUM. Don’t forget to put the word HEAT in the email subject line. Correct answers will be entered in a drawing and winners will be notified by Friday, February 29th at Noon.
In “Heat”, what fruity, kiddie confection did Batali turn into a reduction and serve with foie gras?
2.In case we don’t have enough readers out there that can answer this question correctly, don’t hesitate to send in your full name anyway (without the answer) and we’ll do a random drawing to give away any extra pairs of tickets we may have. Don’t forget to put the word HEAT in the email subject line.
Hurry and enter, tickets are sure to go fast!
