Bourbon Dinner

October 30, 5:30 pm


Join us at The Barn on October 30th for a multi-course dinner featuring one of Kentucky’s most distinctive bourbons—Angel’s Envy. Known for its artisan craftsmanship and award-winning flavor, Angel’s Envy finishes its Kentucky Straight Bourbon in port wine casks and blends in small batches of just 8–12 barrels at a time. The result? A bourbon with remarkable depth, complexity, and smoothness.
 
Executive Chef Dan Fortin has curated a thoughtfully paired menu to highlight Angel’s Envy rich character and spirit. Throughout the evening, you’ll hear the story behind the brand, its innovative finishing process, and what makes Angel’s Envy a true standout in the world of whiskey.

Meet Owner,

James Chen

Chen owns five Connecticut restaurants — @ The Rooftop in Canton, La Figata in Granby, @ The Barn in Granby, Han Asian Cuisine in Granby, and Table 570 in Simsbury. Chen also owns Z Catering serving the Connecticut and southern Massachusetts area.

Chen is known for his prowess with Asian restaurants. His Han Asian cuisine has been a Granby staple for sushi and other Japanese, Chinese and Thai specialties, and in late 2016, he revamped his Simsbury eatery Green Tea to become Table 570, an upscale Asian fusion destination. 

For nearly 10 years, Zen Restaurant Group has successfully brought new dining concepts to the center of Granby: @ The Barn, an elegantly designed contemporary American restaurant and La Figata, with a wood-fired Italian” menu of pizzas, pastas and red-sauce classics. His latest addition in Canton, @ The Rooftop offers New American cuisine with a global twist.
