Under
the white tablecloth
New
York, New York
There's
great beer to be found almost anywhere in this city - but at the finest
restaurants, it's strictly under the white tablecloth.
At Oceana,
one of the reigning stars of seafood cuisine in the US, chef Rick
Moonen and his kitchen crew make exquisite food. But there's no beer
on the wine list....
So, I
asked. And yes, the sommelier managed to find a bottle of Duvel to
go with my grilled fish with a chiffonade of spinach (thank you, thank
you).
The lesson?
Fine dining and beer do go together, but it's only when consumers
ask for beer, that more fine beer will be found on the menu.
