July 12: Tom and Tom (and Brian) dinner at Kennett

On July 12, Brian Ricci, chef of quaint Queen Village saloon Kennett (848 S. Second St.), is teaming up with two Toms for a special four-course collab dinner. One is Tom Kehoe of Yards Brewing; Ricci and Kennett co-owner Johnny Della Polla both worked for Yards' tasting room. The other is farmer-to-the-stars Tom Culton, who supplies Ricci with gorgeous local produce from his Lancaster acreage.

Nothing's finalized yet, but "Tom [Culton] is fattening up two young lambs for this event, as well as keeping some guineas around for the charcuterie," says Ricci. "I'm working with Yards on some special beers — blends of ales, firkins with chilies, firkins with herbs and spices." For the menu, we’re hearing guinea hen-and-pistachio pate; gnocchi with pork belly and baby artichokes; and lavender/hyssop lemonade intermezzo pinked with Culton's intense Alpine strawberries. But really, Brian, you had us at fattening up lambs. 

There’s seating for 50, with about 10 percent already booked. Price is not set, but figure on $60-$65 a head.
