Spice Trading
An Indian Feast for the Ages
Wednesday.
To get over the hump, you need some spice in your day. Could be figurative spice, like a friendly game of
strip poker among co-workers. Or it could be actual spice, like curry.
Let’s go with curry this week...
Introducing
Flavors of India at the Setai, a torrid avalanche of tandoori and chutney happening
every Wednesday at the South Beach hotel—and kicking off tonight with a world-renowned NYC chef.
So here’s the deal: once a week, the restaurant at the Setai transforms into a Bollywood wonderland,
complete with everything but a gleaming Freida Pinto (or even Aishwarya Rai, if you remember her from her
appearances on
Oprah and
60 Minutes a few years ago... remember?).
You’ll come in with your samosa-loving ingenue, sink into a couple of regal leather chairs and get ready
to feast like you’re the guy who had the Taj Mahal built: think impossibly tender tandoori lamb chops,
elegant chutneys made with mango and chili, and sweet potatoes dusted with cumin and masala.
And tonight there’s one more reason to show up: chef-author Suvir Saran of NYC’s media-darling’d Dévi
will be presiding over the action and gracing you with his
Quintessential Rice Pudding, flavored
with cardamom and saffron.
You always prefer your rice pudding be quintessential.
