On Thursday, April 25th, 7:00 p.m., at Chakra Restaurant in Paramus, New Jersey, Chef Thomas Ciszak continues his monthly Fork & Cork* dinner club series by taking guests on a tour of street foods around the world.
For the Global Street Food dinner, Chef Ciszak will take familiar street foods from three continents and apply his own unique twist to each. Dishes will be accompanied by stories from Mr. Ciszak’s past, from the herring popular in a Dutch town 40 miles from where he grew up, which he hated as a child but now loves, to a German version of the New York classic corner hot dog, to a textural play on Bubble Tea and more.
