Spoiled at 411 West

One of 411 West's sous chefs, Justin Fulton, invited hubby and I to feast at a 4-course chef table this evening. He prepared 4 dishes especially for us, even keeping in mind that I couldn't eat unpasteurized cheeses, rare meats, or heavy carbohydrates (due to the gestational diabetes).

Course #1

"Carb-free BLT" made of local arugula, sungold and cherry tomatoes,
lardons, and shaved Parmesan cheese

Course #2

Truffled potato herb gnocchi, local arugula, goat cheese gouda, and local shitake mushroooms

That dish was so good hubby had to sop up the juices with a dinner roll.
Look how clean his plate is.

Course #3

Grilled, marinated steak over squash puree, sauteed baby carrots and red wine reduction

Course #4

Mango sorbet, sliced pears, pear puree, and a brown sugar wafer
