Orik Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Yeah, that was cool. Quail testicles, who knew. Also, the olive oil and tea gifted (Cha Gorreana) are very good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

StephanieL Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I had a wonderful time last night at my very first Um Segredo dinner, a tribute to F. Scott Fitzgerald. Needless to say, there was alcohol in every course, plus a special watermelon gin & tonic to start. The menu: --Lobster and sake, melon, pickled cucumber, shiso. Lots of fresh flavors. The sake element was a foam/cream. --Fresh corn polenta, poached egg, bourbon foam, summer truffle. The dish was covered in shaved truffles. This was my favorite dish of the night--all of the elements blended so well --Seared foie gras, coconut curd, rum crumble. The foie gras was simply seared, and surprisingly the coconut went well with it. --Surf and Turf: veal short ribs, rock shrimp, baby vegetables, brandy cream --Molten chocolate cake, port sorbet and vanilla ice cream swirl Dave is a gracious host and the company was good too. I felt satisfied without being super full, a good thing considering we didn't finish until about 11:30. My only complaint is it got very loud after a while and I had to shout to make myself heard. While I can't afford to make this a regular thing, it'll be a nice splashout every so often. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jmoranmoya Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Yes, best kept secret! Excellent place for oysters and sunset over Manhattan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chopjwu12 Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 Just to update everyone on whats going on Saturday the 15th $65 Menu is all you can eat shrimp, clams, corn, potatoes, sausage, corn bread with different butters, and all you can drink PBR's. Come enjoy the view and some good food. https://www.undergroundeats.com/events/end-of-summer-shrimp-boil-spectacular The next dinner is another one from our author series. This time we are hitting an alive and well writer who speaks my language. Literally! The author is someone who has published many books to date, but is probably best known for his work, The Alchemist. A man with an interesting life who is from a country I've always wanted to visit.... Brazil! So here is the menu of put together to honor Mr. Paulo Coelho. These tickets can be obtained through Underground Eats, and the dates are Wednesday, September 12th and Thursday the 13th. https://www.undergroundeats.com/events/um-segredo-supper-club-fivecourse-brazilian-feast Crudo of dourade Pickled hearts of palm, mango vin, chili oil Charred octopus salad Arugula, shishito peppers, oven dry tomatos, Brazil nuts Moqueca (Brazilian fish stew) Shrimp, crab, snapper, rice fritters, cilantro sauce Feijoada My version of the Brazilian classic Coconut tapioca lime syrup, passion fruit sorbet The next dinner I'm going to discuss is one that I am very excited about, not only from a food standpoint, but also from a location standpoint. This is Um Segredo's first event at our larger, new Brooklyn location. I know some of you have been waiting for this for a while now. The theme for the dinner is going to be Oktoberfest. Well, at least Oktoberfest my way. The same BYOB rules will apply here, and I imagine some of you are gonna want to beer it up for this one though...Or a nice Riesling is always good! Oktoberfest- $55 Friday, September 21- all open Saturday, September 22- all open Schnitzel (haven't quite decided if its going to be pork or veal) Salad of pickled baby carrots, poached egg, carrot pesto Spatzle Duck sausage, foie gras, onion cream Brook Trout Braised red cabbage, caraway crisps, juniper foam Roast Pork Loin Bacon, mustard, heirloom potato salad Ginger Snap Ice cream Plum compote, pretzel crumble Lastly, I like to base my dinners on timely happenings, and this month marks the anniversary of one of the most influential explorers of all time - Ferdinand Magellan. He also happens to be from my native Portuguese heritage, so this meal allows me to incorporate my ethnic spin into a menu that also celebrates his journey. Each course is inspired by a critical destination along his route. Magellan Circumnavigates the World Dinner - $65 Thursday, September 27 - all open Saturday, September 29 - all open Spain escabeche of seppia, saffron, shishitos, charred onions Brazil shrimp, green plantains, pickled papaya, coriander vinaigrette Chile empanadas de pino - beef, onion, roasted garlic potato foam Philippines suckling pig, rice, quail egg, pickled cabbage Cape Verde Portuguese cheese, tomato marmalade, pickled onions Spain torijos (French toast), orange curd, chocolate sauce Hope to see everyone at the dinners.
