Spike Your Taste Buds: Free Event At Kass in Brewster Friday

BREWSTER, NY — These days, people are crossing traditional cultural boundaries, stretching their imaginations — specially with food! Now Kass Restaurant Bar is tapping into that adventurousness with a new menu offering a gastronomical global experience.

You're invited to a free tasting event as Kass celebrates this exciting new direction. The event runs from 3-6 p.m. Friday, with a ribbon cutting at 3:30 p.m. It's at 3867 Danbury Road in Brewster.

The restaurant is under new management, Soeradj Mansaram and Sattie Persaud, bringing a unique flavor to Putnam County. Jyoti Soni, a world renowned event manager and food stylist, with global experience in creating and designing prestigious banquets and restaurants to serving the White House, has created a new style where culinary possibilities are endless!

Kass captures the dynamics of the millennials, while preserving the traditional ethnic flavors of the past for the traditionalists, bringing you global flavors with creative edge transitions. That includes Latin, Asian, Italian pasta, Indian curry, from gluten free vegetarian menu options to good old American burgers. There is a choice for every palate.

The restaurant re-branding is in line with the initiative that Persaud's nonprofit is launching in Brewster. She is the founder of the World Heritage Cultural Center.

The WHCC has been around for over a decade doing events across the US, we work with over 300+ cultural groups in the US and 80+ foreign embassies. Its goal is to create chapters across the US and then globally.

"Rediscovering the World through Heritage and Culture with the hope that people will be educated and learn about different cultural customs and believes and respect will follow," Persaud said. "In today’s world it is much needed. People need to realize we are One Family – One Human Race."

For example, they're launching a monthly international comedy show at Kass, with the first one Dec. 8.

Also coming up: World of Colors Concert: 40 countries on stage at Wells Park with international food, arts and crafts Jun 23-24; and an International Film Festival in September.
