[title type="h3"]MeMe's Wine Dinner This Monday[/title]
The excellent Creole bistro MeMe's in Chalmette continues its series of wine dinners, staged every few Mondays. One of those Mondays is next week, November 6. Chef Lincoln Owens has a five-course menu featuring Delicato Family Vineyards,which has been on the scene in California for ninety years. He and the restaurant's owners renovated the tiny original restaurant make it much more comfortable. They bring serious dining to St. Bernard Parish, which has never had this kind of cookery and service before.
MeMe's wine dinners are a little different from most in that you can make a reservation at any time during the evening, with open seating starting at 5 p.m. The price for the five-course dinner with wines is $60, plus tax and tip. A representative from the wine dealer will be there to tell what went into the bottles. The menu speaks for itself:
Roasted Squash Soup Mini pumpkin bowls with fresh herbs and roasted pumpkin seeds
Grilled Hearts of Romaine With Pears
Shaved parmesan topped with a cane syrup vinaigrette and spiced pecansApple-Brined Roasted Chicken Breast
Fresh corn grits with wilted spinach and
finished with an apple jus
