Caps Beer Garden: Chef Dale Talde This Asian Style Beer Garden will feature an expansive list of international beers. To pair with Caps’ impressive beer program, guests can choose from a selection of Asian-American inspired bar bites and entrees like deviled eggs with chinese sausage and kimchi, broccoli and cheddar soup rangoon, and traditional banh mi sandwich. Dale Talde’s passion for cooking began at a young age in his native Chicago where he learned to prepare meals alongside his mother in the kitchen. Dale applies his distinct Asian-American background to the menu of his eponymous restaurant, TALDE, located in Brooklyn’s thriving Park Slope neighborhood. Dale opened TALDE—his first restaurant as chef/partner—in January 2012, and it quickly became a hit with diners and critics alike. In August 2012 he and his partners David Massoni and John Bush launched Pork Slope, a Brooklyn roadhouse serving his take on classic American bar food. In October 2012, he took over the kitchen and became a partner in Massoni and Bush’s older restaurant, Thistle Hill Tavern. In addition to his work in the kitchen, Dale was also a two-time “cheftestant” on Bravo’s Emmy Award-winning culinary show, “Top Chef.” He competed in season 4, as well as, on the show’s “All Star” season, and became one of the show’s most popular cast members.
