Eat Cetera: Beer with Burke, Brunch with Spot, Help the Gulf with Ice Cream

Tonight exuberant chef David Burke will be hosting a four course dinner at his restaurant inside Bloomingdale's, paired with four different beers from Samuel Adams. It's a pretty good deal, too: $50 per person. We realize it's almost the dinnertime now, but aren't you trying to be more spontaneous?! Besides, think of the pork: The dinner starts with an amuse of Crispy Oysters on the Half Shell with Russian dressing and pigs ear, paired with Samuel Adams Pale Ale; later there's BBQ Shrimp with Bacon, corn and collards, paired with Samuel Adams Latitude 48 IPA; and a main course of Roasted Pig Chop with sausage and sparerib tart, sweet potato-vanilla puree, peach chutney, pickled watermelon and beer foam, paired with Samuel Adams Boston Lager. An heirloom tomato salad and prosciutto course is mixed in there somewhere too, and there's Blueberry Pie for dessert, served with lemongrass ice cream and Samuel Adams Blackberry Witbier. Dinner's at 7 p.m., so you'll have time for shopping pre-game. Email dana@davidburke.com for reservations. — Gothamist
