Experience world dining at Chan's Wine Bar

DESTIN, FL - It’s Tuesday night and what to do?

As Tuesdays go, it’s a pretty dull night of the week.

Wine World owner Chan Cox came up with a solution that both stimulates his slow Tuesdays and offers locals a fun dining experience.

Cox is offering a world dining series on Tuesday nights at his Destin location. The concept is simple: each week it’s one country, one dish, and one bottle of wine for two people, for $29.99. The concept has been a huge success, said Culinary Director Alison Porter.

As an added element, the evening’s recipe is included on the menu.

Upcoming in the series includes culinary visits to:

• Sept. 22 - Creole/Spain/France: Jambalaya
• Sept. 29 - Argentina: Carbonata crillo
• Oct. 6 - Germany: Chicken in Reisling with spatzle
• Oct. 13 - Mediterranean: Lamb, lemon and olive pasta
• Oct. 20 - France: Bouillabaise and rouille

Porter also has plans for additional dates to include South Africa, Australia, other regions of France and Italy.

“It’s a fun way to experience culinary regions around the world, stimulate business on a Tuesday, give folks something to do, and it fits in with our philosophy that if it grows together, it goes together,” said Porter.

The World Dining Series continues through October from 5-9 p.m. Reservations are encouraged, but not required. Call 850-269-2902.
