Since AZUR opened, we have been hosting themed dinners which highlight culinary trends or specific types of cuisine.  These dinners allow our chefs to showcase their talents and present foods which are truly unique.  Normally, AZUR hosts about one Chef Series dinner per month on average.

looking forward to looking back

 

In March, we will be partnering with our friends at Woodford Reserve for an "old fashioned"  dinner.  AZUR will be paying tribute to several nostalgic dishes from the culinary history pages such as Beouf Bourguignon and Duck a l'Orange.  Woodford Reserve will showcase their bourbon in perhaps the oldest cocktail - the "old fashioned"as well as other historic cocktails. Jed Schneider of Republic National Distributing Company has been scheduled to educate everyone on the evolution of cocktails.  Join Executive Chef Jeremy Ashby for his careful recreation of four iconic entrees as we stroll down memory lane together in "classically unadorned."  We recommend that you bring an old friend to share the evening.
