My good friends at Fino, Lisa and Emmett Fox, have fully embraced the cocktail craze. They’ve persuaded their chef at Fino, Jason Donoho,and mixologist Bill Norris to whip up a four-course dinner with courses matched to cocktails. Throughout the meal, Jason and Bill will discuss the philosophy behind the pairings. A couple of seats are left at $100 per person. So stimulate the economy and yourself. It’s this Wednesday at 7 at Fino, 2900 San Gabriel, Austin. Reply to fino.reservations@gmail.com. Or see the “chef’s table series” on the web site, www.astiaustin.com.
