Preview Table, Donkey and Stick Thursday, Friday and Saturday; Will Open December 20

You saw the videos in which six candidates competed for the job of chef. Maybe you even ate the rillettes last week as they introduced Table, Donkey and Stick’s Alpine inn concept and chef Scott Manley to the neighborhood. You’ll finally have your chance to dine at Table, Donkey and Stick for real starting Thursday, December 20— but before then, you’ll have three more chances to preview the restaurant and chef Manley’s food at the get-to-know-the-neighborhood price of $15, same as the pop-up dinners for the competing chefs. It will be a four-course menu featuring the dishes that Chef Manley has been working on, from charcuterie to dessert, plus an optional Alpine cheese plate for $12; wine, beer and spirits will be available for purchase. The menu will run Thursday, Friday and Saturday; see the menu below, and get a reservation here.
