You keep on using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Do yourself (and everyone else) a favor and check.

Tim Davey and Kelley Swenson threw a Chartreuse dinner last night in the Starship Enterprise-esque back dining room of Ten 01. The whole thing was totally incredible and I don't have time to run through it all here, but two highlights included pork belly with creamed lentils, pancetta and truffled quail eggs (that last item sounds silly and unnecessary but was, in fact, completely mind-blowing) and just-released yellow Chartreuse VEP. Watch for more like this from Tim - this was the second in his new series of Portland spirit pairing dinners, the first being last month's amazing rye dinner at the Ace Cleaners. Portland is incredible. We live like queens.
