Celebrate a late Oktoberfest by learning to make your own sausage with David Budworth, the Bay Area's celebrity butcher, in a special hands-on class from 6:30 to 9 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 7, at Fresh Starts Chef Events in Novato.
The presenter, known as Dave the Butcher to his customers at Marina Meats in San Francisco, has years of experience in choosing and mixing ingredients for handmade sausages. Along with making their own, guests will feast on two special varieties created by Marina Meats.
The menu:
- Handmade soft pretzels with housemade mustards
- Marina Meats specialty sausages
- Braised red cabbage and orchard apples
- German potato salad with warm vinaigrette
To cap off the evening, everyone will gather for a communal meal accompanied by tasting of wares from Baeltane Brewing in Novato. What pairs better with sausage?
Tickets are $55, including dinner, beer tasting and take-home sausages. For more information or registration, please visit Fresh Starts Chef Events online or call 415-382-3363 x243 for more information.
