Eat like a Viking

Czech-born and bred Chef Petr Balcarovsky trained in the culinary arts in Europe. Balcarovsky’s love for the region’s cuisine runs deep, and he is bringing a wildly refined winter Viking tasting menu to Hazel Park’s Frame on February 10th and 11th. Guests are invited to quench their thirst by drinking mead and amphora-fermented wine while enjoying a dinner that focuses on Nordic ingredients, alongside warm and convivial traditional Finnish recipes. A few highlights of the multi-course Viking feast include: a sailor’s green gold soup with spinach, toasted cream, nutmeg, farina and spelt flat bread; a medieval “Postej” pie-beef terrine presented in a pie vessel, with zip sauce; cedar plank salmon featuring stout oats, capers, Skagen sauce and tomato confit; and a honey tasting dessert trio of raw honey gelato, mead tickled forest berries, and pear coriander honey tart. There is one seating only at 7 p.m. on Friday, February 10th and Saturday, February 11th. Cost is $125 per person plus fees and tax. Guests can choose standard or vegetarian option at checkout. A hand-selected pairing by Frame’s beverage team including mead, ale, amphora fermented wine & Frame cocktails and spirit-less cocktails are available at an additional charge.
