Traif
5-Course Globally Inspired Dinner Event
No, this is not just a really good dream... We are indeed FINALLY heading back to the one-and-only Traif for another celebration of pork, shellfish, and all things "un-kosher" with virtuoso Chef/Owner Jason Marcus. It's been wayyyyy too long since the last time we teamed up with this critically-acclaimed eatery and Chef Marcus, who is constantly pushing the culinary envelope, has a bunch of new dishes that he's eager to get our feedback on. And, naturally, when a chef with this sort of pedigree invites us to serve as his loyal guinea pigs, we jump at the opportunity! For those of you who haven't attended any of our past events at Traif, you can review Chef Marcus's insanely impressive bio below. Trust us that 'virtuoso' is no exaggeration when describing his culinary prowess. As usual, we'll be taking over the entire restaurant for this event, and Chef Marcus, who is always full of stories, will be introducing each course from behind the restaurant's open kitchen and participating in a Q&A during dessert!
