Comme Ca Monday night: Raise a beer to a record-breaking paddler

Comme Ça wasted no time getting philanthropic. On Nov. 5, David Myers' new restaurant will team with Alaskan Brewing Co. for a prix-fixe, beer-pairing four-course dinner. Even the charity is charitable: Costal CODE (Clean Oceans Depend on Everyone) was the evening's original beneficiary, but they're now splitting the evening's take with the American Red Cross to aid Southern California wildfire victims.

The evening also promises to be festive, as it's also celebrating Tom Jones' completion of his world record-breaking paddling expedition more than 1,250 miles down California's coast (he began Aug. 7 in Crescent City and is scheduled to end Nov. 4 on Imperial Beach, just south of San Diego).

Here's the menu:

Appetizers (Alaskan Amber)
Mushroom risotto, duck confit, maitake mushrooms (Alaskan Winter Ale)
Wild Alaskan salmon, roasted endive, gnocchi Parisienne (Alaskan IPA)
Paleron of beef Bourguignon, horseradish pomme puree, braised carrots (Alaskan Stout)
Brioche bread pudding with raspberries (Alaskan Smoked Porter)

All this for $125. You could do a lot worse for a Monday. To reserve, call Comme Ça at (323) 782-1104.
