Wolfgang Puck’s Menu for a Promising New Year

in Around Town, Eats

K Street Kate reader Lilly Harris (at left with Wolfgang Puck) was part of a “spectacular evening orchestrated by…Nick Owens,” last night at The Source, where Puck himself prepared a five course wine paired meal to commemorate the year of the rabbit.  “We sat in the same seats that were occupied by the POTUS and FLOTUS the night before.  The chef was very gracious and signed three books for me… we even talked about his menu, and about wine, and my recent trip to Mendoza.”


Though it is the year of the rabbit, nobody was eating like one!  After drooling over a meal of whole steamed black bass, roasted rabbit loin and szechuan filet, Harris and the other guests finished off the feast with Golden Pineapple Sticky Cake, which, according to custom, is fed to the Chinese kitchen god so that he will report favorably on a family’s behavior.
