Fire Food & Drink in Shaker Square is partnering with Ohio City's Rising Star Coffee for a Coffee Tasting Brunch. Kim Jenkins, owner of Rising Star, will be on hand to lead guests through a five-course menu paired with small-batch coffees. Each course will consist of three to five Doug Katz-crafted small bites served with specialty coffees. Jenkins will discuss various brewing methods and the "art of coffee." Courses include buttermilk biscuits with local Berkshire pork sausage and, red-eye gravy paired with aeropress-brewed Kenyan Muthingini. Black Out Stout coffee cake with custard filling and cardamom streusel will be paired with pour-over-brewed Sulawesi Toraja. Reservations are required by calling the restaurant. (Jason Beudert)
