Alex Does NYC

We’ve all done it. Out on the grill, sipping an ice-cold brew, then you get the bright idea to pour some of it on the chicken you’re cooking. Your old man might even be the one that convinced you to do it saying, “It adds flavor!” But does it really?

To find out, Alex Raeder recently took a trip out to Jimmy’sNo. 43 in New York City for an event called “Brewed Food.” Billed as a brewing dinner collaboration, Colorado’s own certified Cicerone and Chef Jensen Cummings took the night to teach local chefs how to cook with beer fermentation ingredients and processes.

The result? An appetizer at the reception followed by four courses of complete deliciousness.

As you may have suspected 10 Strawberry Street was there in full effect as the official Chinaware Partner for the event. Our Izabel Lam Ripples collection was a fantastic canvass to bring everything together, and we were super excited to be apart of bringing a little bit of the Rocky Mountains to the Big Apple!

Gotta admit it, its hard not to be envious of Alex. Good people, good food, good tableware, and good brews? We need to start hanging out with the Road Warrior a little more often because she’s clearly having all the fun!
