If you’re a bourbon drinker, you’ll want to circle Wednesday, Feb. 21, on your calendar. That’s the day Bourbon Jacks in downtown Chandler will hold a fabulous four-course, small-batch bourbon dinner.
Seating is very limited.  Fewer than 20 of the $54 tickets were left as of last week. Only four of the $54 tickets were left as of this morning.
Bourbon Jacks, however, has reserved one free seat for a lucky MXSW reader. If you’re interested in attending, email your name and phone number (with the subject line ‘‘Bourbon Dinner”) to jess@mouthbysouthwest.com.
I’ll randomly draw the winner this Friday, Feb. 9.
Here’s a look at chef Brandon Fernandez’s menu, along with the small-batch bourbon pairings:
- Course #1: Warm Bourbon Cajun Dip (crawfish, crab, chive, sweet red pepper, Cajun toast points). Paired with Basil Hayden’s.
- Course #2: Creole Crusted Beef Carpaccio (mache greens, fried capers, dusted parmesan, housemade cipollini onions, honey white truffle aioli). Paired with Knob Creek.
- Course #3: Herb Marinated Beef Tenderloin (opal basil chimichurri, grilled purple potato, smoked chile crab salad, jumbo asparagus, fried basil chips). Paired with Baker’s.
- Course #4: Warm Double Chocolate Cake (whiskey ganache, housemade bourbon pecan ice cream, Fabbri cherries). Paired with Booker’s.
If you’d like to purchase your own tickets, they’re available here. The dinner starts at 6:30 p.m.
