Sweets Truck, Auntie Em's Kitchen and the Verdugo pair up for "Sinfully Sweet Sunday" on April 11th.

 

It’s the ultimate Big Kids Bash: exotic beers paired with exquisite sweets while lazing on an urban patio on a Sunday  afternoon.   Then, sashay on over to the  Echo  for the opening night of the Grand Ole Echo’s  5th season of BBQ, americana and country music.   Really…does life get any better than this?  

Your “Sinfully Sweet Sunday” starts on the Verdugo patio;  Sweets Truck  has collaborated with Michelle Risucci, pastry chef of Auntie Em’s Kitchen, who created a special menu for the Sunday, April 11th event.  The five item pairing includes: Citrus Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting and Candied Orange Rind (baked with Belgian Witbier) served with Coney Island Albino Python – White Lager brewed with Ginger, Crushed Fennel, Sweet Orange Peel (6% ABV);  Red Velvet Tea Cake with Dark Chocolate Ganache and Chocolate Pearls served with Spaten Optimator - Dopplebock (7.2% ABV); and Beer Float – Vanilla Bean Ice cream and Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout (9.0% ABV).   Ms. Go Go knows you’re swooning over the anticipated Sunday  sweetness  but you still have to reserve your spot with a pre-sale ticket; a Jefferson gets you all five pairings.  

Mosey your beer buzz/sugar high over to the legendary Echo to sweat and sway at the 5th season kick-off of the Grand Ole Echo: the start of the summer season of free, all-ages, americana and country music shows every Sunday with BBQ on the patio.  The opening night bill features respected local faves I See Hawks in L.A., Wheelhouse (with Ross Fluornoy and Brian Whelan of power pop band the Broken West), country/rock ‘n roll duet Mars ArizonaSam Mellon and the Skylarks (alt-country on the back porch) and Chris Morris, host of “Watusi Radio” (on Scion Radio) as emcee.  

What a way to kick off the season…and your Go Go week.

Go Go Gourmands of all ages, mark your calendars!   

Auntie Em’s Kitchen, the fresher than fresh, usually-breakfast-and-lunch-only Eastside cafe,  is having a spring  Farmer’s Market Dinner on Tuesday, April 13th.  That may seem far away but these luscious dinners, which look as good as they taste, sell out fast, fast, fast, even with two seatings.   

Babies and children (along with their well-behaved parents) will no doubt want to take note of the earlier 6:30PM seating and can look forward to a special $8 child’s plate of citrus and beet salad, PLUS Mediterranean meze  feast entree (made in house) OR leg of lamb stuffed with garlic, olives, leeks, spinach and fresh herbs, with asparagus and pea tendrils PLUS a special dessert!    

In addition to the above salad and choice of entree, grown-up diners will also enjoy a specially chosen cheese plate and a trio of cream puffs filled with chocolate mousse, orange mousse, and strawberry mousse and accompanied by a pot of dipping chocolate, all for $45.   The meal will be paired with selections from nearby Colorado Wine Company.  (Babies and children will, presumably, enjoy other liquid refreshment.)  There’s also an 8:30PM seating for working adults and pint-sized, Night Owl  Gourmands.   

Book now…and bring the tots’ silver spoons.
