All Things Fermented

Founder and Executive Chef of Vie, Paul Virant, is known locally and affectionately as the pickle man of Chicago.  If it can be pickled or fermented, he will do it. Chef Dan, Vie’s Chef de Cuisine, has learned well from his mentor Paul, and takes on the lion’s share of preserving the seasons’ bounty through fermentation.  Chef Dan will prepare a multi-course meal that will surely open your awareness to the many ways that peak season ingredients can be preserved through fermentation.  Each course will be paired with a local micro-brew or cider (they’re fermented too!). $100/person includes food and beer/cider pairings.
