IFC's Dinner with the Band premiered tonight featuring Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, and the kitchen was crowded. The episode featured a lot of tired-looking Dap-Kings standing/sitting and looking on as chef Sam Mason put together the *meal. I was kind of hoping for more energy from somebody on the set, but everyone looked like the morning after pulling an all-night set at The Bowery. *Since my body has issues digesting any red meat, I can't speak for how mouth-watering the Sharon Steak turned out. But the red-eye gravy and Dap-Rings (beer-battered onion rings) looked deeeeelish. But... Decaf coffee grounds sprinkled on Onion Rings?
Menu:
Sharon Steaks, Dap Rings and Red Eye Gravy + a Welcome Home Martini.
Music backing the episode was pulled entirely from the Daptone Records catlogue, w/ many songs appearing on their new compilation out today, Daptone Gold. Playlist: Dinner with the Band Episode 1.01 (Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings)
