Jeff Osaka, , walked away from his acclaimed LoDo restaurant in August, but he’s not out of the kitchen.
While he plans to open a noodle shop in the coming months, Osaka is staying sharp with an Oct. 9 guest appearance at one of “Mutiny at the Bottle” dinners. In fact, it’s the only meal Osaka is cooking in Denver in October.
The “Beast” is in Denver’s Uptown neighborhood, and the dinner costs $75 per person, plus an extra $25 if you decide to pair wines.
It’s a tasty-sounding menu that Osaka will create with Beast chef Paul Reilly and his crew. Check it out:
First course: Pan tomate, roasted garlic custard, mojama, oregano
Second course: Chicken-fried sweetbreads, Anson Mills grits, aged jack cheese, poppyseed slaw
Third: Red snapper, cabbage, pickled lobster mushrooms, apple cider consomme
Fourth: “Lambchetta,” quinoa, preserved lemon, pistachio crumble, yogurt
Dessert: Sweet potato financier, chocolate-chipotle ice cream, pecan, coconut
