A Birthday Salute To Papa Haeringer Six-Course Alsatian Dinner Experience

Please join Chef Jacques, Paul Haeringer and the entire team of L’Auberge Chez François and Jacques’s Brasserie on Thursday January 6th, 2022 to toast to their founder, Papa François Haeringer on his 103rd birthday. Dine on the “classics” menu of Papa’s favorite dishes from his beloved Alsace, as you take a trip down memory lane. Francois’ favorite and always popular, le saumon soufflé will start the birthday celebration, continued with the Alsatian specialty, la matelote de poissons; a medley of fish and shellfish in an Alsatian riesling lobster sauce. Sing Happy Birthday to Papa, as L’Auberge Chez François present his favorite dessert, Grand-Mère Cécile, my Grandmother’s Kougelhopf en Neige, the same recipe brought to America by Papa Haeringer. This six-course Alsatian culinary dinner experience, of course, is paired with three fine wines from the homeland of Alsace, where minerality and freshness aren’t just concepts, they are the story of the wines. During this very special evening, you will view a moving video history, a true labor of love, spearheaded and produced Papa’s nephew and namesake, François “Mano” Haubtmann. Over many years of filming smiles, tears, and edits, it took some additional coaxing for Papa to complete. Priced at $436 for a table of two, $872 for a table of four, and $1,308 for a table for six. 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. For more information, please click here.
