Whether you’re social or anti-social, you are probably staying at home. But you can still eat well and in style, right? At least now you can, with our Easting Alone Together series of dinners and special events.
What is “Eating Alone Together”?
Oh, so glad you asked. It’s easy:
We miss the restaurant experience: sharing a nice moment with someone you love, over some great food, in a restaurant you both love.
Food is more than just take-away pizza that you eat in sweatpants while binge-watching The Tiger King. (Guilty as charged here!) It’s easy to forget that after a month in containment.
Prague restaurants are excellent, serve fantastic food, and can stand up to the challenges posed by the quarantine rules.
Local producers are people too, and they need your support now more than ever.
The fifth episode of our Eating Alone Together series is a bit different: You get to cook your own food, and compete with it for a prize!
Eating alone together in quarantine, pt V: Dish Fine Burger Bistro
We all know and love the burgers by Dish Fine Burger Bistro. Ever since they opened to great hype a few years ago, they’ve been one of the most reliably great burgers in town, building a loyal following in the meantime. But wait, have you ever wanted to create your own Dish burger at home? You have? This is your chance. Dish took this opportunity to preview their “Dish Kit” for two: a DIY burger set for two that offers lots of fun and - when you scroll down to see their menu - tremendous value. One thing: don’t screw it up!
And to make sure you don’t, Dish will be releasing a series of videos to show how to cook your proper burgers, and how you finish their fries at home. Sounds fun? Wait until you hear this: you can now compete! Once you make your burger, you take a picture of it, post it on Instagram, tag Dish and us, and the nicest burger wins a prize! Perfect for those couples who can’t agree on who makes the better burger. There’s only one way to find out… and that’s with the Dish Kit.
And just as usual, we will meet online to say hi and cheer each other with beer and burgers! This is supposed to be social, people! Also, you will get an email with our Prague Foodie Map, the Taste of Prague Digest, and a cook-along and eat-along playlist by Dish, and a dissenting playlist by us. This will be fun.
The Dish Kits will be delivered on Friday afternoon - you get to choose your own delivery time - and you can assemble and cook the burgers on Friday or any time during the weekend.
