Butcher Paper Dinner: ROOFTOP CRAB BOIL!
Get your hands dirty at Edible Queens and Brooklyn Grange's inaugural BUTCHER PAPER DINNER! We've been looking forward to launching this series ever since EIC Jay Soysal popped over for a coffee a couple months ago and we hatched the idea! For our inaugural event, we're calling in the big guns: rockstar chef Will Horowitz of the East Village's Duck's Eatery will boil up a whole heap of blue crab and farm-fresh veggies!
We knew we liked Chef Will right away when we jokingly suggested that we bring the crabs to the table in a wheelbarrow, and he was on board. This guy -- this is our kinda guy. And did we mention, he can cook! With a Southeast-Asian-Cajun-influence and a decidedly-DIY vibe, Horowitz is a grower of mushrooms, a smoker of meats, a curer, pickler, fermenter and just generally a man who plays with his food.
For his Butcher Paper dinner, Chef Horowitz will be slinging fresh oysters, followed by a bountiful crab boil piled high along our enormous reclaimed-oak communal table. Stunning views of Long Island City and the Manhattan skyline will present a little eye candy to offset the savory feast. Bedell Cellars will be pouring their 2011 Taste Rose and 2012 Chardonnay. Queens Brewery, an outfit that brews upstate and is located in Long Island City, will serve their Queens Lager.
Tunes will be spun throughout the afternoon and evening by celebrated DJ and saxophonist Neal Sugarman, co-owner of funk/soul label Daptone Records and resident of neighboring Sunnyside.
Basically, it's gonna be one heck of a party.

ABOUT BUTCHER PAPER DINNERS:
This series of fun, inventive dinner parties to be held spring through fall at Brooklyn Grange's flagship rooftop will center around the farm's massive, reclaimed white oak communal table down the length of which organizers will roll butcher paper. A rotating lineup of the city's most innovative chefs will bring their unique culinary stylings to play with the farm's fresh, seasonal produce, serving family-style meals directly atop the paper-lined table. This style of hands-on dining allows guests to really engage with their food, and their neighboring diners around them. Participating chefs will hail from all over the New York City area but will draw their inspiration from the eclectic diversity and bold flavors of Queens' signature culinary culture.
