From Businessweek:
"Damon Baehrel is making dinner out of the scrub brush next
to his blacktop driveway. First he takes some sumac leaves and steeps
them to make tea. Then he adds liquefied wild violet stems cut from his
yard, as well as a dozen varieties of grapes cultivated in his garden.
He freezes all of this together and serves it on a spoon as one
refreshing bite. Baehrel calls it sumac-flavored ice slush and uses it
as a palate-cleanser during the 15-course meal he creates nightly for 18
food-obsessives. Many travel three hours from Manhattan—some even fly
in overnight—to pay $255 (before wine and tip) for the privilege of
eating in the basement of a modest clapboard home in Earlton, N.Y.
