Avant-American Tasting Series

Alice in Philadelphia

Philly's one of our oldest TC Chapters, so we've had the honor of being present for plenty of astonishing culinary debuts in our time. If Day 1 of our series at Alice is anything to judge by, we've just had that honor again! Chef/Owner Dave Conn has spent the last decade opening restaurants for James Beard Award-Winning Chef Jose Garces - and, after seeing the awe-striking array of dishes he brought out for attendees, and hearing his utterly enchanting stories, it's easy to see why. Alice may have opened just a few months ago in June, but we're absolutely confident Chef Conn and his powerhouse of a team will be around for many a year to come. See what all the buzz is about for yourself though, with a ranking of the top three courses (as determined by the STELLAR post-event feedback left by guests on their feedback cards) below:

 

1st Place: Coal Roasted Octopus with Jimmy Nardello chile peppers and preserved lemon

2nd Place: Poulet Rouge with coal oven heritage chicken, burgundy truffle jus, and hakurei turnips

3rd Place: Chocolate Pot de Crème with Valrhona chocolate custard, bergamot meringue, and cajeta
