Tongue-Tied Dinner; Frank Lee Tribute

EVENTWIRE—A few friends got together to host a "Tongue-Tied" dinner and all are invited. The Cocktail Club's Jeremiah Schenzel and Kevin Getzewich from The Macintosh will be cooking, while neck accessory purveyor Spit Shine Man Goods will be on hand to offer last minute gifts. The theme of tongues and ties will be reflected in the cuisine. Think, mache salads, cured lamb's tongue or bow tie pasta. The small plates will be "pay what you see fit" and adult beverages will be offered. The evening starts on Thursday, December 19 at 6:30 p.m., at High Wire Distilling Co., and ends at 9:30 p.m. [Facebook]
