Hungry Pigeon Chefs Cook From One of Their Favorite Cookbooks Tomorrow Night

Part of why we love Hungry Pigeon so much is that the menu combines Pat O’Malley and Scott Schroeder’s formidable culinary chops with a personal vibe that can make guests feel like they’re eating around the chefs’ home table.

On Wednesday, July 12th, they’re taking that dinner party touch one step further with a meal drawn entirely from one of their favorite cookbooks: Prune, named for chef and author Gabrielle Hamilton’s eclectic, idiosyncratic New York restaurant.

The three-course menu starts with snacks like pickled shrimp and canned sardines with Triscuits and cornichons — the latter of which was groundbreaking when Hamilton first put them on Prune’s menu in 1999. Mains include stewed pork butt and Jersey beefsteak tomatoes with warm salted butter, and for dessert, simple pleasures like butter and sugar sandwiches and panna cotta.

Dinner is $40 for the three courses, with an optional wine pairing for $25. They’ll be offering cocktails — Prune‘s recipes, of course — as well.
