Back in February, businessman Paul Yoo and chef Jason Park opened up a new desserts shop in Los Feliz called Ramekin, where the treats are served in mini baking dishes. The sweets space took over the former Paradis gelato shop, and has since been serving cobblers, tarts, and other desserts to the Eastside. To up the ante, Ramekin will be bringing in Matthew Biancaniello for one night,Thursday, May 30 from 6 p.m.-11 p.m.
Biancaniello has quite the following, and has been popping up all over town since departing the Library Bar at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. For the Ramekin pop-up, he'll be making Laphroaig with chocolate-covered blanched garlic, topped with his signature Never Let Me Go (a homemade mixture of Cynar cassis and blood orange), toasted saffron, and blood orange slices; Parmesan ice cream with lemon zest , dehydrated olives, chipotle infused olive oil, manzanilla sherry with pink chive blossoms, sprinkled with flower blossoms; and squid ink ice cream, tequila, topped with red fish eggs, passion fruit, topped with coffee infused Cynar.
Biancaniello has done events similar to this at Scoops, and they are known to draw crowds, regardless of the $8 price tag. You can find out more of the vitals over at the Ramekin site.
As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
