Put Hair On Your Chest: Have Dinner With Jack Daniel Tomorrow Night

JackDaniels.com

The man behind the alcohol

The real Jack Daniel died 99 years ago, not of alcohol poisoning, which would have been somewhat poetic, but rather, of blood poisoning. He forgot the combination to his safe, kicked it, then his toe got infected and he died. Clearly, if I'd lived back then, I would have died of something pretty stupid too. But doctors and medicine have improved since then, and fortunately, so has food.

So rather than drinking a shot of Jack with that new-fangled invention "canned tuna", tomorrow at Villa Sorriso in Pasadena you can drink it with a 4-course tasting menu including things like roasted pear wrapped with prosciutto and sage. The dinner will feature a different Jack Daniel's beverage to pair with each course, and all combined it will set you back $60 a person.

See the full menu after the jump.
