“Ah, this 2016 Brut Rose pairs so nicely with these Alabama white-sauce wings.”
The first thing that comes to mind when you think “BBQ” is probably not “champagne” – but it’s about to be. 🥂
Chefs + sommeliers are gathering at City Roots next Friday, Oct. 26 from 6:30-9:30 p.m. for F2T Productions’ – your local farm-to-table event company – newest event: Bubble Q. Yep, that’s the combo of words ‘bubbles’ + ‘barbeque.’
The setup for the night includes 6 different stations of smoked and fire-cooked meats, each paired with 4-5 champagnes from around the world. Dishes feature creative twists on sustainably-sourced, Southern meats, like:
- Smoked Whole Hog BBQ and Congaree Milling Co. Hoe Cake with Bacon-Vidalia Onion Sorghum Molasses, ‘Bama White BBQ Sauce, and Cabbage Micros by Chef Frank Bradley of Bourbon
- Smoked Chicken Cracklin’ & Caviar with Creme Fraiche, Red Onion, Chive and Cured Egg Yolk by Chefs Aaron Siegel + Taylor Garrigan of Home Team BBQ
