    Appetizers for September 22nd, 2011

    by theelvee_w2oe3m September 22, 2011

    A few things we posted about before not to forget:
    Starfish Brasserie in Bethlehem is doing their porcelet dinner on Friday night featuring a five course pork-centric meal for $35.  Afterwards you can hit up:

    the Celtic Classic (aka Celticfest), which starts on Friday.  Save room for haggis and beer.

    Black and Blue is doing a Chimay and cheese pairing Friday for $35.

    Now for the new stuff:
    Easton is hosting a Chile Pepper Festival on Saturday from 9a to 2p in Center Square.   There will be hot pepper eating contests, cooking demos, salsa contests, a chili cookoff between Easton fire houses, and more.  Sounds like a smaller, more laid back alternative for those that missed the huge Bowers Pepper Festival this year.

    The Mint has a new website.  It sucks.

    The Farmhouse is planning a cocktail/costume party for Halloween.  Tix are $25 and include food, prizes, and cash bar.

    The Brew Works has two new beers on tap, a black lager and a Harvestfest Pale Ale.  Check em’ out.

    Also, biggest culinary event this weekend is definitely Taste of the Valley at Melt.  Every year this Farm2Table event draws a good crowd.  Here’s the line-up for food:
