Thank Le Boeuf

Sliced bread's all well and good, but if you really want to know about one of the supremeo things going on in Brum's food sphere right now, it's Opus's Source Dinners. You've missed the five-course paean to all things vegetable — dumby — but you're bang on time for a spot at an evening of props to Irish-raised, Hereford beef. Taking place Nov 9, it's £85 for five-courses, with a pre-drink, wine matches and a talking farmer from one of the herds Opus source from. The menu, created specially for the evening, will depend on the best cuts at the time but previous dishes have included marinated rump carpaccio with textures of artichoke and watercress, as well as dry rubbed smoked brisket of beef with char-grilled tiger prawns and seared scallops. Sooo all your fave things. Call 0121 200 2323 to book. More
