Drunken Deviled Eggs

Don’t just eat out. Make it a special night with a chef’s dinner. We’ve round up three genuine chef experiences for you to give a go. The first being from Sarsaparilla Club owner-chefs Jeff McInnis and Janine Booth, who have just introduced a new Chef’s Tasting menu at their popular American Dim Sum restaurant.  The tasting menu experience starts with their signature dim sum cart dishes such as the Braised Short Rib Dumpling, Pork Belly Steamed Bun and Drunken Deviled Eggs.

Lastly, to end the meal with a sweet tooth the menu features the Sarsaparilla Chocolate Cake topped with Rainbow Root Chips, Honey Butter Drizzle and Sea Salt.

Classic or vegetarian menus are available for $39, with another $20 for wine and beer pairings where each course is paired with a specialty drink like the Barrel of Monks Draft beer, JP Chenet Sparkling Blanc de Blanc, Langued’oc, 2013 Chateau St. Jean. Menu available now.
