THE KITCHEN pop-up kitchen, secret supper club, mobile guerrila restaurant of Hamburg struck again this weekend with our Autumnal Meal.
The fall feast followed an American Thanksgiving-inspired theme, hence the deco included red table clothes and navy napkins with white stars, various varieties of pumpkins, overgrown cinnamon sticks and pomegranates. We projected a fireplace onto a white wall to give a warm glow and a cozy atmosphere in what is usually the back storage room of a lovely Swedish café.
Preferring to incorporate the storage room feel into the decor rather than mask it, drink crates were stacked and used as podiums and serving tables.
As usual, the chefs were too busy plating dishes to photograph them but we did manage to steal a few quick snapshot. Above, the harissa carrots which were served in small ramicans on the side of the main course. This spicy Moroccan salad may have seemed like an odd pairing with the rich porcini gravy and earthy truffled mashed potatoes, but served on the side they offered a sharp palate cleansing finale to a rich meal and complimented the spicy chorizo in our new absolutely hands-down favorite stuffing ever.
The dessert, a "crumbled apple pie a la mode" was a cross between a crumble and a pie. The sweet cinnamony apples were a perfect finish and the pumpkin seed oil over ice cream - you just have to try. it Nutty and light, tying everything together like a ribbon on a package.
Interested in reserving a table at The Kitchen? Our next meal will take place on the second weekend in January. Inquiries about when, where, why and how oder wer, wie, was are welcome. More information about our January meal will be posted shortly. In the meantime, Happy Thanksgiving to all and a very happy holiday season!
