Sometimes we have to do our public service. Today, that’s to spread the word that Café Boulud is hosting a Caviar & Champagne Dinner in honor of National Caviar Day. Don’t worry, you’re not the only one scratching your head about why there’s a Caviar Day in the U.S. France, yes – totally makes sense. But we’ll take any chance to celebrate caviar and eat it too.
Café Boulud’s Caviar & Champagne fete is on July 18th and will run you a cool $700/person. That figure is sans tax and tip, so you’re looking at around $1,000 a head, easy. As the theme of the dinner implies, caviar and Champagne are the highlights of the six-course menu. However, they don’t go over the top with the caviar. The first and the fifth courses have caviar. You begin the meal with a tasting of four different caviars with warm blinis. The fifth course is a creative intermezzo of crème fraîche ice cream and Siberian caviar. We may just need to make that recipe at home.
