This menu is designed to showcase how the City Press Club Bistro maintains global standards of excellence while celebrating the unique soul of the local harvest.
The Exchange Pairing Menu
High Standards. Regional Flare. Farm-to-Table.
1. The “Midnight Ink” Stout Pairing
Designed for deep-dive discussions and bold storytelling.
- The Dish: Heritage Cocoa-Rubbed Short Rib.
- The Regional Flare: Slow-braised for 12 hours using root vegetables sourced from within 50 miles of the Bistro.
- The Story: The bitterness of the roasted malt in the stout cuts through the richness of the beef, while the cocoa rub echoes the dark chocolate notes in the beer. It is a “heavyweight” meal for a high-stakes exchange.
2. The “Correspondent” White Wine Pairing
Designed for refreshing perspectives and bright conversations.
- The Dish: Pan-Seared Regional Catch with Herb Emulsion.
- The Regional Flare: Whether it’s Pacific Sea Bass or Atlantic Scallops, the seafood is caught and delivered to the kitchen the same morning.
- The Story: The crisp acidity of our signature white wine (pictured in the tall stemware) acts as a “fact-checker” for the palate, brightening the delicate flavors of the fresh herbs and citrus.
3. The “Press Room” Shared Board
The ultimate centerpiece for a meeting of influencers.
- The Spread: The Artisan’s Exchange Board.
- The Regional Flare: A curated selection of local honeycomb, hand-churned butter, and three regional cheeses ranging from sharp to creamy.
- The Story: Pairs universally with our entire drink list. This board is designed to be shared at the center of the table, encouraging the flow of ideas and the breaking of bread between creators.
The Consistency Guarantee
Regardless of which City Press Club Bistro you visit, the “Midnight Ink” stout will always have that signature velvet finish, and the farm-to-table quality will never waver. We believe that while an influencer’s perspective is global, their experience should always feel like home.
