We’ve got info on a special dinner coming up later this month at the Jamison Publick House in Pennsburg. Our friend and world-class chef Jason Hook will be hosting a guest tasting on June 20th at 6pm for $75. Chef Hook prepared what is truly one of the most memorable meals ever chronicled on The El Vee when he was at the Glasbern Inn, a gig he has since moved on from. For a complete rundown and a taste of his style, check out our exhaustive take on his chef’s tasting back in March. This menu, however, is taking things to an even higher level, to the extent that the Lehigh Valley has rarely seen before.
As the Chef himself puts it, this dinner is meant for foodies. With pre-dinner snacks that will make your mouth water to courses that are equally intriguing as they are encompassing, Chef Hook also throws in some of his notable Eastern influences to the dishes in the form of things like yuzu, red miso ketchup, and tokyo turnips. It’s also worth noting that Hook has worked in kitchens under renowned chefs such as Alain Ducasse and Jean Georges. That’s no easy feat and Hook’s technique, flair, presentation, and variety all play off of his past experiences and personality. This dinner is surely not one to be missed, and there’s only 36 seats available so if you’re contemplating on going, reserve quickly. Below is the menu along with some shots from Chef Hook of dishes he’s done previously…consider it an appetizer to what you’ll experience at Jamison Publick House. There’s not much else to say besides, “see you there.” To reserve your spot call Jamison Publick House at 215.375.8886.
