Fast Food Adapted Around The World

Saturday, May 5th, 2012

In countries outside the USA with a cafe culture already highly developed, McDonalds adapts their McCafe brand. In Thailand where I live, that means local menu selections are integrated into the menu. In Brazil, it means Pão De Queijo their famous cheesy bread is featured; in Montreal it is poutine (a mixture of gravy and cheese curds); in France it is an oblong hamburger in a baguette McBaguette with Elemental cheese and may be accompanied by a McBeer; In Italy Mozzarillo Burger Mozarella cheese accompanied by basil and tomato mayonnaise on forcaccia bread; United Arab Emirate branches of Pizza Hut offers a pizza with the edge of the crust stuffed with mini-cheeseburgers and a topping of cheeseburgers, Thousand Island dressing, cheese, lettuce, and tomato. There is nothing I can add after this last abomination from the Emirates, as that is about as unappetizing as it gets, as far as I am concerned.

 

 

Chablis from Domaine Raveneau, St Regis Hotel 17 May 2012, 7 pm – Bangkok

Thursday, May 3rd, 2012

Domaine Raveneau is the most sublime and celebrated estate of Chablis

The domaine’s production has always been miniscule and highly sought after worldwide. To get a hold of a bottle of Raveneau is like a treasure hunt. Once the wines are released,they are snapped up and disappeared from the market.

Similar for our case, once the wines arrived, we sold out.
We chose to keep a few bottles, our intent is to spread the passion for Reveneau and make sure you have a chance to sample them.

Executive Chef Leonardo Concezzi will prepare various dishes to be paired with Domaine Raveneau lineup.
The wines that night will be,

Domaine Raveneau Chablis 2009
Domaine Raveneau Chablis Premier Cru Butteaux 2009
