Fancy dining
As I’ve become more comfortable in the kitchen, it takes a lot more for a restaurant to impress me, especially when it’s a somewhat nice restaurant. Today I walked away from David Burke & Donatella thoroughly impressed after a filling lunch (they have $24 and $35 prix fixe menus for lunch, possibly only on Sundays but I’m not sure). Ellen, Jen, and I shared an assortment of appetizers, entrees, and desserts. Some of the highlights:
- Titanic french toast: A entire small loaf of given the french toast treatment
- Beef short ribs: With a delicious mushroom sauce and a dollop of black truffle mousse
- Chicken and Shrimp salad: Tossed with a mustardy vinagrette with a hint of horseradish
For the quality and quantity of food, it was a phenomenal deal and a great dining experience.
