bike riding (and dining) with the chef

I can’t say for sure, but I think this just may be a first: bike riding with a chef  followed by a five-course dinner.

On July 3, join chef Jonathon Sawyer, a cycling enthusiast who regularly bikes to and from work, and The Greenhouse Tavern staff as they take a bike ride throughout Cleveland stopping at a few of their favorite places followed by a five-course dinner in honor of the Tour de France.  Each dish will correspond to the different stages of the tour and feature an authentic meal from that region. The menu includes:

Course/Stage 1: Rotterdam to Bruxelles

Andijive Stamppot
Potato Pancake w/ root vegetables and soubise

Course/Stage 2: Bruxelles to Spa

Lapin a la Gueuze Rabbit
Rabbit Ragout w/ fine Herbs

Course/Stage 3: Wanze to Arenberg

Port du Hainaut
Waffles w/ preserves

Course/Stage 4: Cambrai to Reims

Andouilletes de Cambrai
Beef Bung Sausage, Cracklin’s and Tripe w/ heirloom garlic

Course/Stage 5: Epernay to Montargis

Toast of Champagne & Betise Sweets

What a fun idea! I’m sorry to say I’m not much of a biker (for now – looking into a family bike) , but if I were I’d sign up for sure.

    I love the concepts of all Chef Sawyers dinners. My budget is a little more restricted, though!
