December 13, 2009 Line Up

Have you ever seen a turnip that big?? That's what she said! (see previous post) All joking aside, we have a really stellar line-up of performers this weekend. One who is a world-traveler and I have seen her so many times and every time, she blows me away.

Our favorite accordionist Benjamin Ickies is back this weekend and believe you us, we're making him WORK! He will be doing a solo number plus a couple of accompaniments to the girls' acts. That man knows how to SQUEEZE.



Pandora is back with a new act never before seen. We know what it is, but you'll have to come and find out.




Our special Guest Star Broadway Brassy will sing a few new tunes for you.





Lo and behold, it's The Maine Attraction. She will definitely set a fire to your Sunday night. Hint. Hint.




Don't wink or you'll miss what magician Jeff Grow is going to be doing at Dim Sum Burlesque.




As usual, I will be there to say ni hao, hola, and hellooo! (Yes, I'm tri-lingual)
Hope to see you Sunday!

Attention Size Queens!

December is roaring in with some cold weather, making us seek out warmth wherever we can! Our favorite farmer Morse from Windfall Farms has a bumper crop of Golden Turnips, so he reached out to a bunch of us to take them off his hands, each turnip was anywhere from 2 - 7 lbs- Woah! Big and flavor that needed some taming!
I came up with a Golden Turnip Soup with tumeric and melted sweet onions, finished with cream and then pureed. It's served with a dash of Japanese pepper spice, chopped cilantro, toasted sesame and some crispy crab and shrimp won tons. If this dish doesn't warm you up - then have another cocktail!
We are also featuring this weekend a Grilled Ribeye Steak Teriyaki, from grass fed Colorado beef, served with stir fry Chinese vegetables and Tempura Onion Rings.
This weekends Bread and Cheese has a French Triple Creme Savarin, very buttery with Walnut Fig Bread and that delicious Hudson Valley Duck Prosciutto Style - Yum!
For the sweet tooth we have a Black and BlueBerry Brulee with passion fruit curd and chocolate shortbreads. I think Calamity Chang will have some fun with this dish!
Have a great weekend and we hope to see you at Chow Bar!

Weekend Specials!

We have some great specials for this weekend, as we slowly step into the holiday and winter season!

Our bread and cheese plate features a spicy, savory cornbread with Italian buffalo milk mozzarella, red papaya and some local duck proscuitto, paired with one of our many wines by the glass- it's a delicious plate of flavors and textures.

Grilled Filet of Beef with wasabi mashed potatoes and a shiitake port and plum wine sauce is a perfect dish for the season.

We also have some plump blue point oysters served with a black vinegar mignonnette - spiced with pickled ginger, red onion and fresh ground white pepper - sweet!

Christian also has a new local six point beer on draft made from Rye - amber with a nice bite.

Hope to see you here!

December 6, 2009 Line Up

Can you believe it's December already? I am not the one to say, "Where did the year go?" I know where my year went. Long hours of rehearsing, mingling at burlesque shows, and husslin' for rhinestones and costumes! But enough about me, here's the line up for the first Sunday of what I promise to be a total powerhouse month at "Dim Sum Burlesque". Buy tickets here.

Plume de Lune - Making her debut at Dim Sum Burlesque, this new face has kittened at numerous places in NYC such as Duane Park and Sweet and Nasty Burlesque.




Dame Cuchifrita - This Dim Sum regular puts the oomph into everything she does much like Sriracha hot sauce!




Broadway Brassy - She is in house and in sound!





Benjamin Ickies - Back by popular demand and post-makeover by yours truly, this accordionist will squeeze his way into the darkest corner of your heart with his cabaret songs.



Weirdee Girl is back! Debuting a number mysteriously only known as "the silver one"... how festive!




And every Sunday, your creator/producer and hostess of "Dim Sum Burlesque!" - Calamity Chang.

Hope to see you this Sunday!
