After attending my first Roller Derby on Saturday I decided to go a different route for Sunday.  Julie had bought tickets to this dinner party series that is being run by Top Chef season four winner, Stephanie Izard called the The Wandering Goat.  It’s kind of like a dry run of the restaurant she will be opening called The Drunken Goat.  The dinner took place in the West Loop at the house and backyard of one of Stephanie’s friends.  The theme was Three Floyds Beer & Meat.  I didn’t really get the theme as here’s what we ate:

1. A pork thing with some sort of apple chutney
2. Grilled octopus salad
3. Lamb stuffed calamari
4. Oysters sprinkled with some bacon bits and scallions (I did not eat the Oysters, Julie had about 4 though).
5. Dessert was Black Dog Gelato in the choice of three flavors: roasted red pepper, banana creme, and lemon ginger. I had the banana creme and Julie had the lemon ginger.
