Emmer & Rye Hold a Dinner Honoring Legendary Chef Jacques Pépin | Eater Austin
"As part of a worldwide campaign honoring Jacques Pépin's 90th, the restaurant will host a Breaking Bread dinner on Thursday, May 22 with various seating times. Chefs Kevin Fink and Tavel Bristol-Joseph will reinterpret recipes from Pépin's 2012 Complete Techniques into an a la carte menu: starters include goujonnettes (crispy strips of red snapper marinated in Texas Keeper Cider, coated in buckwheat and rouge de bordeaux grain, paired with a classic sauce tartare), gnocchi Parisienne (a Sonoran wheat dumpling gratin finished with Parmesan), and pain de ménage (rustic country loaf served with chicken skin cracklings, chicken liver pâté, and cultured butter flowers). Entree options include fish en papillote (parchment-baked Gulf grouper with braised celtuce and a fennel nage) and ficeler la volaille (a trussed, deboned stuffed chicken with traditional sauce chasseur). Reservations are available on OpenTable and walk-ins will be seated if space allows." - Courtney E. Smith
