For three days, Oct. 11 to 13, chef Christopher Kearse will serve a $35 coffee-inspired tasting designed along with Joseph Cesa of Philly Fair Trade. Start the night with an infused amuse of Granny Smith apple custard with the flavors of a Nicaraguan medium roast blend, followed by three joltin' courses — long neck butternut squash cooked in coffee oil with coffee-cured foie; Berkshire pork shoulder brined in coffee; and chocolate cake and fig pate de fruit served with a Ugandan Vienna roast.
