book-signing/dinner at Camino 3/11/11    • 0  Gabrielle
Hamilton's my favorite chef-writer, and one of my favorite
writers, period, so when I found out Camino's hosting a book-
signing/dinner for her, I completely freaked out.  It's $100
before tax and tip, for hors d'oevres, cocktail, 3 courses, and
wine - when you purchase the ticket, they'll add in tax and 18%
service, so it's $125.25 (more expensive than an average meal at
Camino). The communal seats lend themselves well to large
groups, so you can ask to be seated with friends, if you're
buying tickets at different times. There aren't any details
available about the menu yet, but I think it'll be safe to guess
it's not going to be vegetarian-friendly. I can see her
refined/rustic, heavily French-influenced style adapting really
well to Camino's kitchen and am keeping my fingers crossed for
big marrow bones roasted in the fire.  Food News and Media
