As far as I can tell it's completely random but I can't afford any of those foods so maybe I'm missing something.
I don't think you could get through ten courses that fast. I can't remember off the top of my head how long Kid A is, but let's say 60 min roughly. You would be stuffing yourself so fast that you wouldn't enjoy a single bite. Plus you'd be really fucked up from the included drink pairings!
Yes, I suppose they would have to be. I've never experienced anything like a 10 course meal. It would be way fun. I went to a super fancy restaurant last Friday though. I don't think I could justify laying out that kind of cash for a meal twice in a half year, let alone twice in a week.
It sounds stressful for those preparing it (maybe, kinda, sorta- they are professionals.) I don't think it'd be wise to attempt this in your home kitchen.
Damn! This would be super fun, and it's taking place within walking distance of my house. Too bad I'm busy Wednesday (although I'm sure it's sold out anyway). Well, that plus a dinner for two checking in at $250 (probably $300 when it's all settled) is just a bit steep.
Hard to say- wish I could attend to report back in full. I wonder if Pitchfork will do a post dinner follow-up?
There are definitely progressive elements to both the wine and food on this menu, but who's to say that a different 10 song album wouldn't provide an adequate foil for this degustation.
