My buddies at Stove Monkeys are gearing up for their next Yumm event at Mercury Lounge. I have written about these guys and their friends before. Now every month they are showing Clevelanders just how adventuresome food can be. Getting this monthly project off the ground has been an adventure for Matthew Mytro and his team. The first month they tried this experiment, it was pretty unclear as to whether or not Cleveland was ready to embrace the concept of molecular gastronomy and food combinations. That first evening was one of the first beautiful nights in Cleveland. It also happened to coincide with an event for the Indians at Jacobs Field-and who could have predicted a solid playoff round for the Cavs? We were there early and the crowd was light, but things picked up as the evening wore on. But if last month was any indication, Cleveland has embraced this monthly foray into cooking concepts with open arms. Unexpected crowds crammed the patio and the introduction of cocktail concoctions had patrons lining up at the bar. This month, Matt tells me that they will making optimum use of the overall space at Mercury. This month looks to be the best month yet!
For a mere $10 ($7 in advance) you can get some nitrogen frozen tomato mozzarella salad, liquid raviolis, Bacon PB & J, Corn On Da Cob, and ice cream. There will be molecular cocktails, too like Mom’s Apple Pie and liquid Jack and Coke. Check out some of the highlight from last month’s event:
