Whole Artist: Vince Gaulin
Once the meatpacking capital of the world, this neighborhood evolved into one of the most diverse neighborhoods in Chicago. Our Dinner this time was served at an old sink factory that once supplied nearby meat processing plants. These days, the building houses artist studios and residents. Resident artist, G. Vincent Gaulin, performed as Wrinkledy Kinkledy, a curious character with a knack for storytelling and tall tales. The food tasted like the South! The cocktail was beyond delicious and reminded us of an old fashioned.
I used a handle of Jim Beam, that had been infused with cinnamon, clove, star anise, nutmeg, and vanilla beans for 2 weeks.
Here the recipe:
Carolina Comfort
- 2 oz 80 Strong Kentucky Bourbon
