Potted Chicken Liver & Foie Gras Pâté with grilled bread

The touch of smoke from the grilled bread play off the creamy richness of the pâté. All at once, rich, buttery, and delicate with an air of sweetness that just barely presents itself. (Possibly from a reduction of armagnac, to […]

Leon's Full Service

Crispy Skin Mountain Trout with apricot vinaigrette

Trout makes the perfect vehicle for showcasing crisp skin. Delicate and thin, the trout’s skin browns nicely and adds another element of texture. The tasty golden bits are perfectly matched with roasted cashews and apricot. This was our favorite dish of the night.

The Derby

Buffalo Grouper Sandwich

The breading of this fried grouper filet, doused in Buffalo hot sauce, remained crisp for the duration. Cooked to perfection with a super crispy exterior, yet, the interior was perfectly moist and flaky. The picture above doesn’t do justice to the size of this sandwich.

Good Food/Bad Lighting @ Phipps Tavern

Salmon Sandwich: Fresh, tasty, and perfectly cooked.

The salmon was perfectly cooked, but, came on a rather wimpy hamburger bun. Even so, the bun was perfectly fresh, toasted and my honey loved it.

The winner of the day: Spicy Shrimp in a baguette… Can you see my sandwich in the […]

Super Duper Smoky @ Ms Betty's House of Ribs

On one of Anthony Bourdain’s excursions to India (Rajasthan), he samples a marijuana laced white chocolate and bhang lassi.

The Staff: Friendly […]
