Pluck
5-Course Globally Inspired Tasting Event
Opened in March, 2021 in the heart of the Warehouse district, this modern wine bar and restaurant with an Old World soul earned a spot on Eater’s 2023 “Best in NOLA” List. Small wonder, as Executive Chef Michael Shaffer is complementing Pluck's truly superb wine list with even more superb food. A native of southern California, Chef Shaffer has cooked at the local fine-dining site Lilette and at farm-focused Marjie’s Grill before starting Los Crudos, his popular BBQ and seafood-centric catering and pop-up business. At Pluck, he is featuring such tapas-like items as smoked trout deviled eggs, tuna crudo with watermelon aguachile, and wild mushroom toasts with goat cheese mousse and garlic confit. Main courses like duck leg confit with peach, fennel, and crème fraiche and flat iron chicken with Tuscan kale and grain mustard jus round out the picture. Leave room as well for toothsome desserts like Belgian chocolate and peanut butter tart with smoked sea salt and goat cheese flan with peach jam. Sounds to our ears like a lovely way to spend an evening!
