I'm back again with a new edition of Sips & Nibbles, my regular column where I highlight some interesting, upcoming food and drink events. I hope everyone dines out safely, tips well and are nice to their servers.

1) On Tuesday, April 22, Chef Kegan Stritchko will welcome Matt Kramer, Executive Chef of Michelin-recognized Rosella KPT (Kennebunk, ME), to XOXO Sushi Bar in Chestnut Hill for an unforgettable evening of combined star chef power. Chef Stritchko, a master of jukusei omakase, will be joined by Kramer, a force in sustainability, in presenting a 16-plus-course menu that celebrates their shared passion for dry-aging and over a decade of friendship.
Fittingly hosted on Earth Day, the duo – who first met while working at Uchiko in both Austin and Denver – will come together behind the counter for two exclusive seatings. Featuring the day’s freshest locally sourced ingredients, Kramer and Stritchko will expertly prepare an extraordinary culinary experience with some surprises along the way that culminates with a sweet treat. Guests can expect to luxuriate in a collection of sea treasures including Island Creek oysters, fluke usuzukuri, Acadian redfish, porgy, bluefish, black seabass, golden mussels, American unagi, Boston-area scallops and mackerel, bluefin from North Carolina waters, akamutsu, and more.
The showcase can be complemented by optional beverage pairings, ranging from wine and sake to premium Japanese whiskeys.
Seatings available at 5:00pm & 7:30pm.
Cost: Omakase: $195 per guest. Beverage and premium beverage pairings packages ($100; $195) available as add-ons.
Advance Reservations are available through OpenTable.
