Just like great bands likely tire of playing the same songs show after show, surely chefs like a little variety in the routine.
Whether that’s the reason La Coop: Bistro à Vins (732 E. Market St.) is doing an Italian family-style meal on Dec. 23, we don’t know, but it sounds like a great time nonetheless.
According to a news release chef Bobby Benjamin’s team will prepare a rustic Italian meal that includes house-made pasta, roasted grass-fed meats and local vegetables. Cost is $50 per person, plus tax and gratuity, and Italian wine pairings (picked by La Coop partner and Master Sommelier Brett Davis, no less) for each course are available for an additional $30 per person. For more information or to make reservations, call 502-410-2888.
