Sea Change and Gastro Non Grata are glad to present a reason not to cook dinner on Monday night with their patio series.

The menu and chefs consist of :


Tim McKee
Sherry Glazed Pork Belly with Morcilla

Mike "Y.C." DeCamp
La Belle Vie
Grilled Cuttlefish with Tomato, Olive and Squid Ink

Shawn Smalley
Smalley's Caribbean Barbeque
Jerk-Roasted Pig with Jamaican Rice and Peas

I’d love to tell you about our music guests, but I’m not going to. We’re pretty sure if you show up, you’ll be happily surprised. So bring some shorts to work and come sit on the patio and be awash in beautiful food and music.


This Patio Series is brought to you by Seachange, Pabst Blue Ribbon and Gastro Non Grata

Fancy Poster for May 9th Show at Triple Rock

In case you forgot

Gastro Non Grata 14 – Triple Rock/Hohenstein’s Appreciation Sensation

Sunday May 9th, Triple Rock Social Club, Doors at 6 $7 advance/ $10 at the door

gastronongrata.com

It’s been about four years since we started GNG and it’s probably time we started thanking all the people who help us try to break even . So this one’s for all our frieeends at Hohenstein’s Distributing and the Triple Rock Social Club. Without them, we’d have a pretty damn boring show.

As for libations, we’re giving craft brewers a break and moving into the world of Door Country Dutch Courage - Death’s Door Spirits is going to be on hand bringing mini-signature cocktails, moonshine stories and maybe a portrait of a rusty tractor in a field.

Our food guests won’t have to go far, the always inventive kitchen staff of the Triple Rock are hard at work in the lab creating vegan-friendly and vegan-unfriendly dishes that will definitely twist brains and make you smile non grata style.

For our musical guests, we’ve kept it in house – The Prairie Sons and Blood, Sweat and Beers both feature members of the Triple Rock Staff and American Penetration and Fiero feature employee’s of Hohenstein’s Dist.

As always, Northern Brewer will be on hand making and pouring gastrobrew

Dead Meat Door Prizes from Clancey’s Meat and Fish in Linden Hill’s will continue to be engaging, thought-provoking and useful.

Ticket sales will be limited to 250 people so there’s room for everyone to move around, drink samples, eat food and have a good time without having to push, so get your tickets before they’re gone.

Tickets available from Triple Rock Online or from gastro constituents around town.
