📚 Lecture: “Wine Meets NYC Street Food: A Pairing Adventure”
🎤 Speaker: Prof. Torrey Grant
Is food and wine pairing an art, a science, a craft — or just a vibe?
Join Professor Torrey Grant for a fun and flavorful exploration of how wine meets the world’s most diverse street food. From taco trucks to dumpling stalls, we’ll discover how unexpected pairings can unlock new layers of taste, texture, and delight.
This isn’t your average fine dining affair — it’s a tribute to bold flavors, global cultures, and the joy of discovering that your favorite handheld snack might just deserve a sommelier.
Prof. Torrey Grant teaches the popular course "Beer and Wine Appreciation" at Syracuse University. Known for his unconventional approach—like pairing Champagne with hotdogs—Grant combines a refined palate with a love for simple, approachable flavors.
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to taste and learn about food and drink in an iconic city!
