Lo Co Du Uk
The puzzling moniker to this event stands for LOla rosa COok DUmpling Union Kitchen, who will join Cook in a unique collaboration of flavors representing many parts of Asia on June 11. The menu will consist of a prix fix meal of four small plates presented by each purveyor and one collaborative dish. Guests are invited to begin the evening in a space about half a block from Cook that will function as waiting area meets party room. There will be samples of Sidhe Brewing beers and "Tattooed and Food" deals from Port & Starboard tattoo and piercing, both Payne Avenue neighbors. If you're feeling particularly sassy, you can get a Cook St. Paul logo tattooed anywhere on your body and receive a free meal a week for a year.
