Another enriching beer dinner, this time at MilkWood.

As usual, my sloppy iPhone photo doesn't do it justice. Pictured above is the main course (lamb shoulder) at the MilkWood/NABC beer dinner on Thursday, April 17. In honor of the occasion, I pulled a Dylan Thomas quote; the restaurant is named for his play, “Under Milk Wood.”

"I liked the taste of beer, its live white lather, its brass-bright depths, the sudden world through the wet brown walls of the glass, the tilted rush to the lips and the slow swallowing down to the lapping belly, the salt on the tongue, the foam at the corners."

I can't say enough about the eatery's staff, those who attended, and the meal itself. For those who have yet to check it out, MilkWood is downstairs at Actor's Theater on Main Street in Louisville. It accurately describes itself like this:

Chef Edward Lee's newest venture, MilkWood, is a restaurant celebrating how Southern cuisine and Asian ingredients can be friends.

Go there.
