Honey Themed Dinner at Paradiso


 

Paradiso’s rooftop garden is home to vegetables, herbs, and honeybees. 200,000 in fact. And on Wednesday, July 23rd, Chef Lynn Rinaldi, bee expert Don Shump, and the 200,000 buzzing bees will all come together to create a one-time only dinner event. The Bee Dinner will feature a multi-course prix fixe honey-infused dinner for guests to enjoy.

The event starts at 7 p.m. with honey-glazed Heirloom Carrots and house-made Ricotta. Next up on the menu is the Hotaki Crudo with a shishito marmalade; Stuffed Zucchini Blossoms with an anchovy and lemon-honey aioli; Mushroom Fettuccine with wild mushrooms, pancetta, bee pollen, and toasted bread crumbs; New Jersey Fluke Milanese with baby kale, charred corn, jalapeño, honey-melon vinaigrette; and Goat Cheese Panna Cotta with a berry compote and honey-sesame brittle.

And while you enjoy the sweet offerings, be on the lookout for Rinaldi and Shump as they’ll come around to talk to guests about sustainability, local honey production, bee keeping, and concerns with the recent decline in global bee populations. Rinaldi spoke of the event saying, “I’ve always been as interested in the ecology as I am in making excellent food and serving our guests. This dinner brings several of my passions together for an exciting event that will be a lot of fun for all involved.”

The event is $65 per person. Reservations are required and can be made by calling 215-271-2066.
