Personal testimony and practitioner preference, not a blinded comparison or proof of universal pairing rules. The separate 2002 corn-allergy anecdote is not medical evidence. The appendix documents a recipe version, not independent confirmation of the dinner's effects.
Introduction
Schmid describes his New Orleans food upbringing and a 2008 IACP dinner at Dickie Brennan’s Bourbon House, with food by Darin Nesbit and whiskeys presented by Harlen Wheatley. He describes successful perceived pairings involving shrimp, scallops, an osso-buco course, and a chocolate dessert, but also reports that his palate felt overwhelmed by the end. He organizes the cookbook by seasons and encourages readers to use a bourbon they enjoy.
