An acclaimed San Antonio chef is back on her game at Cherrity Bar for the St. Paul Square Dinner Club. Chef Elena D'Agostino Burns, formerly pasta chef at Battalion, will once again plate up her signature Italian food for the public at the February 27 event.

‍

This return to the restaurant table brings some variety to D'Agostino Burns' current career as a personal chef and caterer. She's no stranger to one-night-only events, and this one will give her plenty of chances to be creative. A release credits D'Agostino Burns for branching out past the familiarity of pasta without losing sight of "the rich traditions of Italian cuisine."

"I am thrilled to invite San Antonio to an unforgettable evening featuring some of my favorite dishes, inspired by the diverse and rich flavors of Italy's regions, with a unique local twist!" said D'Agostino Burns in the release.

‍

The meal will cover five courses and will be hosted on a covered patio with heaters, if needed. It's not vegetarian, but it's not meat-heavy, either, focusing largely on vegetables and dairy. Tickets are $100 on Eventbrite.

‍

To start, D'Agostino Burns offers up a hot fired dough with rosemary, sea salt, and honey, plus Tuscan salame and prosciutto as a pairing. Next up is a carrot flan with almond crumble and Parmigiano fondue; then a vegetable crown with whipped ricotta.

‍

The pasta course everyone's waiting for is a chamomile-infused spaghetti with Parmigiano cream, bee pollen, candied almonds and pistachios, fresh mint, and candied bacon. Finally, that showstopper is followed up by a last course of zeppole with chantilly cream and warm Italian chocolate.

This dinner series is curated by food writer and events director Kimberly Suta, with the intent to celebrate up-and-coming San Antonio chefs. It's about a year old, having previously featured menus by Ceasar Zepeda, best known for the now-closed Sangria on the Burg; the "Chili Queen of Texas," Diana Anderson of JD's Chili Parlor; Chef Kaius of The Chef Kaius Xperience; and more.
