Chef Jen Jasinski is a Food Network competitor and the rockstar culinary brain behind Denver’s smash success restaurant Rioja. We like her advice for pairing beer with food — you need to really get to know your beer.
“Drink, drink, drink,” says Chef Jen Jasinski, when asked about the best way to pair great beer with tasty food.
“Try to pick out specific flavors and replicate them in your food,” she says. “Maybe there’s a citrus aftertaste. Then you can do something with tangerine – like that.”
