Sycamore in June: Charcuterie and Collabos!

tonygalzin — Mon, 20 May 2013 15:14:35 +0000

We have an awesome June planned for you- kick off your summer right, with beer and pork!

Sycamore will be teaming up with Nashville chefs to offer charcuterie at the Jackalope brewery taproom every weekend in June. Each plate will feature two selections of fresh and/or cured charcuterie- one prepared by Chef Tony Galzin of Sycamore, and one prepared by a local guest chef. Plates will also include a cheese from The Bloomy Rind, and a beer pairing from Jackalope. All charcuterie will be made from one purebred “Red Wattle” hog from Phillips Pharm here in Davidson County.

The lineup of partner chefs is as follows:

May 30-June 2: Matt Lackey, Flyte
June 7-June 9: Gary McComas, The Yellow Porch
June 14-June 16: Zack Maddox, Coffee/Lunch
June 21-June 23: Vivek Surti, Viviek’s Epicurian Adventures
June 28-June 30: James Peisker & Chris Carter, Porter Road Butcher

Charcuterie and cheese plates with a beer paring will be $20 each, and will be available at the Jackalope Brewery Taproom during normal business hours Friday-Sunday, while supplies last.

Grass Fed Lambs at Philip’s Pharm

tonygalzin — Fri, 04 Jan 2013 23:04:30 +0000

For our January 27th dinner, we again have the great opportunity to work with whole animals from Philip’s Pharm.

Farmer Chris Philips Has a small flock of 10 sheep that he is raising in the northern part of Nashville. The sheep are a cross breed of Katahdin and Dorper sheep, two breeds that are raised specifically for meat. The Katahdin breed is known as very high quality meat breed, producing lambs that are naturally lean with a mild flavor. Dorper sheep are also a quality meat breed, and are known for their foraging skills. In addition to feeding on the grass pasture across the five farm acres, the Philip’s Pharm sheep are also scouring the forest floor this time of year and eating acorns.

Sheep on Philip’s Pharm lead a very happy life, interacting with farmer Chris on a daily basis. On January 27th, our dinner at Cafe Fundamental we will be a four course menu prepared from two whole lambs. We are so grateful to be able to source these high quality, humanely raised animals from a local farm right here in Davidson County!

Our Lovely Sponsor, Stockroom Vintage

A few weeks ago we were approached by the fabulous Elizabeth Ulrich-Fanguy, owner of the Nashville event rental company Stockroom Vintage. Elizabeth told us how excited she was about our upcoming dinner, and wanted to know how she could get involved. Look for some of her gorgeous platters and plates when you join us on November 11th at the Jackalope Brewery tap room. We are beyond thrilled to be partnering with Stockroom Vintage, and thank Elizabeth so much for her generosity!

Check out a few of the photos below from her photo shoot for a Kate Spade inspired wedding.

Elizabeth Ulrich-Fanguy founded Stockroom Vintage, Nashville’s first vintage rental company to focus solely on renting and styling, with two ideas in mind: Awesome vintage pieces should be shared, not hoarded or hidden away. And when you want a cool, vintage vibe for a wedding, party or photoshoot, you shouldn’t have to spend tons of time and money on vintage pieces you may only use once.

Enter Stockroom Vintage. Elizabeth has scoured estate sales, thrift stores and flea markets from coast to coast to curate a collection of unique vintage pieces that are all available to rent at affordable prices. Stockroom Vintage rents and delivers everything from farm tables and vintage sofas and chairs to heirloom china, vases and vintage decor. Elizabeth refinishes, restores and scrubs each piece herself. You can check out the entire inventory here:http://www.stockroomvintage.com/inventory-categories/
