I recently went to a community dinner called Sit with Us, hosted by Cherry Bombe & Open Table at As You Are in the Ace Hotel, Brooklyn. A portion of the proceeds went to the Girls Club of NY.
We had assigned seating and were grouped with 6 or so to a table. It was so great chatting with everyone because they either have a strong passion for or are involved in some way with culinary/beverage or restaurant industry.
Our conversation was obviously delicious bc it was mostly about what to make, what to eat and where!
The menu offered a taste of what As You Are is all about—we started with beautiful mocktails, cocktails and natural wine. Dinner was awesome, with so many gorgeous colors in those salads and flavors that reminded me of DeMaria, one of Camille’s restaurants that I was super fond of.* I love Camille’s attention towards using healthier ingredients and offering natural wine and fresh juice. She doesn’t use processed sugar, corn syrup…none of that crap!
And then there was the majestic chocolate Cherry dessert finale with all the best qualities of a tartufo with a twist and a seriously thick chocolate shell, was beyond The Bombe!
