February is coming to a close, but not without a bang. Fastnacht Day (Donut Day) is tomorrow (What’s Fastnacht, you ask? Read all about it here.)
This week is also full of great foodie events like wine pairing dinners, a whiskey tasting, authentic schnitzel and half-price burgers. Enjoy and eat local!
“In Piemonte” wine dinner. On Tuesday, February 28, Non Solo Pasta Ristorante in Morrisville, PA will host a wine dinner featuring Piemonte wine, from the region of Piedmont in northwestern Italy. The dinner includes four courses paired with wines for $75 per person. Reservations are required, so call 215.736.0750 to save your spot.
February tasting dinner. Chef Brian Held from Brian’s in Lambertville wants you to say farewell to winter by eating his rich, new tasting menu on Tuesday, February 28 at 6:30 pm. Chef Brian’s restaurant combines French-inspired cuisine with Italian flavors, and at this event, you’ll enjoy a creative and hearty feast including Alsatian potato pie, roasted monkfish with sea urchin sauce, duck confit crepe, and French tapas, just to name a few.
The prix fixe dinner is $85 per person. Call 609.460.4148 to reserve a spot. Remember, the menu is subject to change, and most important: Brian’s is a cash-only BYOB restaurant.
Half-priced 
burgers. Your hump day just got better. The Hops Bar and Grill in Doylestown now offers half-priced burgers from 11 am – 9 pm on Wednesdays (dine-in only). Try the goat cheese and onion burger, or the bacon, egg and cheese burger. Also, don’t forget to grab a Doylestown Brewing Company beer while you are there!
Schnitzel time. Join the United German Hungarians in Bensalem for Schnitzel Night at the club. The dinner is $11 for adults and $5 for children, dessert is available for purchase, and there is a fully stocked cash bar. The dinner includes schnitzel (pork), red cabbage, and spaetzle (dumplings) and two sides (which change every month) plus a salad, bread and butter, coffee or tea. Dinner begins at 5:30 pm.
Bourbon and Scotch night. Why not start March off tasting some great whiskey? This Wednesday at McCoole’s at the Red Lion Inn, from 6:30 – 8:30 pm, enjoy a complimentary bourbon and scotch tasting including Knob Creek Rye Whiskey, Auchentoshan American Oak Whiskey, Basil Hayden Bourbon, and Auchentoshan Three Wood Whiskey. Seems like a good way to wind down and try new smooth bourbons and scotch!
