Detroit Chef Creates a 10-Course Menu Based on Radiohead’s ‘Kid A’
For one night only a pop-up restaurant will host 36 guests to enjoy the menu, drink pairings and a full stream of the album .
Detroit chef Kyle Hanley has created a ten course meal based entirely off Radiohead's classic 2000 album Kid A. For one night only a pop-up restaurant will host 36 guests to enjoy the menu, drink pairings and a full stream of the album .
Hanley, who studied music before becoming a chef, told the Huffington Post when he listens to music he hears "textures and colors," and explained that Radiohead are a very textural and "very visceral band”. "Most people put out CDs, and this is an actual album. One song flows into the next, and we kind of want to do the same thing with the courses," he said.
The menu includes pan seared scallops and Pfalz Riesling paired with opening track 'Everything In Its Right Place', black caprese and a glass of Alto Adige Kerner to accompany the title track 'Kid A' and mousse dou with blackberry pâte de fruit Niepoort LBV port to see out the album alongside 'Motion Picture Soundtrack'.
