Not only is it a common spelling switch-up, the words palate and palette are fun ways to describe the art of food, too. The Gibbes — probs on the heels of a misplaced letter or two — stumbles into this brilliance with their annual street party, held on Thurs. May 3, and its theme, Paint Your Palate. The fun kicks off at 7:30 p.m. and tickets are $150/members, $175/nonmembers.
If you’ve never been to a Gibbes street party (shame!) here’s the deal: Well-heeled attendees often don outfits that fit the theme, and chefs from 20+ restaurants whip up small plates that also, naturally, honor the theme.
Chefs have been “challenged” to create a dish inspired by 2018 spring color trends. According to Vogue those — at least in the fashion world — include “military green,” “lavender,” “sky blue,” and “rapture rose.” Yummy.
This year’s participating restaurants include:
The Atlantic Room,
Butcher & Bee / The Daily
Café Framboise
Carmella’s
