Nathan Thurston Dabbles In Octopus in The Local Palate

Chef Nathan Thurston is busy dealing with renovations and menu development at Stars right now, but he managed to find time to sit down with The Local Palate and give them some recipes to pair with the favorite wine of summer, rosé.

Thurston came up with Wood-Grilled Octopus and Local Shrimp Skewers with Rosebank Farm’s Baby Potatoes, Silver Queen Corn, Yellow Tomato Fondue, and Octo Gastrique paired with Château du Campuget Costières de Nîmes 2011. The Local Palate suggests that you not fear the octopus but rather focus on the local ingredients and have another drink.
