I’m not sure if I will make it to in de wulf before they shutter at the end of the year so what a fantastic opportunity to have Kobe Desramualts’ food at this collaboration dinner with Contra.  Definitely a longer menu than I was expecting and while the pacing wasn’t the best, it was actually better than I expect at any event where there rhythm of the kitchen is vastly disrupted.  It seems so predictable to be my favorite course, but I could have eaten 4 more of the kerremelkstampers.  I hope that Contra keeps doing these!
