Second DAT Dinner Announced

by Steven Doyle

Note: We just spoke with DAT and this sold out in minutes after we announced the dinner.

Fresh off the heels of leaving Mason Bar, Chef DAT is back in the underground action hot and heavy and ready to serve up some of his now legendary dinners. His first dinner was announced yesterday and sold out lickety-split. So fast the young chef has announced a second dinner for this weekend to be at a mystery location in Lakewood.

It is BYOB and will be a 6 course tasting menu for $70 per person not including gratuity. Check out DAT’s website to reserve your space. This is a very limited dinner and will sell fast.

There are a few specials you may want to check out. The first one is from Café Brazil where if you print this story and bring it in to any one of their eleven locations you will get the special of the day absolutely free.  They do ask they you purchase a drink, and we all know their selection of coffees are incredible.
