Couple of VIP events this week, including a chef's table tonight. My boss is letting me take ownage of these events more often these days, so I've gotta keep raising the bar and delivering.



Above is a "bacon wrapped" rabbit terrine. A country style pate of rabbit(and pork) flavored with green peppercorn and golden raisins, garnished with confit rabbit meat and the rabbit loins. Instead of being wrapped with bacon, I made a crisp of smoked pancetta to stack the cubes of pate on. Served with green peppercorn mustard and micro watercress.



This dish didn't photograph well at all. Had far more color variance than the pic would indicate. Butter poached lobster with truffled shoestring fries, a citrus scented parsnip purée, vadouvan curry froth, and a pear veloute poured table side into the parsnip swoosh.



for the entree, pan seared veal tournedos topped with foie gras. A tartlet containing a ragout of fresh hedgehog mushrooms and braised veal cheeks and caramelized onions. On top is a quenelle of butternut squash,sun choke whipped potatoes, and a batonette of zucchini. On the plate, roasted sunchokes, a sunchokes purée, braised celery glazed with butterand the sauce... A Madeira and thyme scented reduction of white veal stock, or liquid gold as I like to call it.

For tonight's chef's table...



Pheasant and foie gras pate with a spicy oat crumble, sweet cherry mustard, and a savory pear sorbet made in the paco jet.



Scallops for the second course, with smoked white beans, a caramelized corn coulis, and a walnut pesto. Also some Swiss chard with toasted garlic in there.




Entree time again... A char broiled 50 day dry aged New York strip- dry aged in house! Served with some braised short rib, sushi seasoned black rice, and a sort of deconstructed medley of miso marinated and roasted vegetables. Also some hedgehog mushrooms and buttered Savoy cabbage. For the sauce, a nice Demi glacé flavored with black garlic.
 
Just picked this up...Almost as hot as Dave's Ultimate. Awesome on tomato pie - something you can only get around here.

Made fresh hot dogs over the course of the past few days... Its a bit of a process. Made from real beef short rib(only... No other meat)- which is almost as expensive as filet after yield. And of course made with REAL SMOKE!

Cant wait to see how you plate those bad boys!!!
 
There's an annual "poutine week" to see who can rack up the most votes....

My wife and I ended up picking the "Blue Cheese Petit Filet Poutine"

FYI: Poutine is a dish of french fries topped with gravy and cheese curds


Grilled USDA PRIME Petit Filet rubbed with ancho-chipotle spice, topped with crumbled blue cheese on a bed of French fries, cheese curds and our homemade 4 peppercorn sauce.

We both liked it more than we expected.
