Sybaris Bows at Beard House

July 26, 2008

Mark your calendars. On Tuesday, September 23, in a program entitled, “Taste of the Willamette Valley,” Chef/Owner Matt Bennett and Wine Director/Owner Jamel Bennett, of Sybaris restaurant in Albany, Oregon, will make their debut at the prestigious James Beard House in New York City. As with many restaurants in the Pacific Northwest, “the menu at Sybaris changes with the crops each month, spotlighting the best, freshest local foods. Its semi-rural location allows us the restaurant to work directly with the best small farms and ranches, as well as the celebrated wineries of the Willamette Valley. Sybaris also accesses the big city’s best importers and distributors for specialty items.”

The Web site states, “Our current menu is always featured on our homepage; here you can find information for upcoming special events and an archive of our past menus. The only items on the menu that are constants are the Sybaris chocolate cake and the green salad: everything else is imagined and developed for a specific month’s menu. As a result, the archive of menus can be interesting reading, as well as a great insight into the ‘Sybaris Sensibility.’”
