David Ansill’s Tasting Menus Go Nose-to-Tail


The next set of David Ansill’s Chef Tasting Menus at Bar Ferdinand has been released. The three menus to come on October 4th, 11th, and 18th will center around a “Nose-To-Tail” theme: The Pig on the 4th, the Lamb on the 11th, and the Cow on the 18th. That’s right, for $40 a person each of the eight courses will focus on a different part of the animal. Sound interesting? Wait till you see the menus.
