So we went to Cafe 909 for dinner tonight. It was simply incredible. Delicious, beautiful, unforgettable. Here's the course-by-course, play-by-play:
Pierre Sparr Sauvingnon Blanc
Smoked Tomato Bisque with lump crab meat and toasted wild seeds
Heirloom Tomato salad with fried capers, basil & sweet vinegar
~~
Seared Sea Scallops, roasted corn orzo with bacon
Grilled Romaine salad with bleu cheese & *sundried tomato vinaigrette (*on my deli menu, uh-huh!)
~~
04 Clos du Val Cabernet
Grilled Veal T-Bone with summer vegetable stew and mashed potatoes
Blue-corn Fried Soft Shell Crab with creamed corn, pea tendrils & bacon
~~
El Rey Chocolate Torte with Passionfruit sorbet
Pistacio Parfait with Burnt Honey Caramel (Food & Wine 2006 #7 on 10 Best Restaurant Dishes, I made it regularly while I was doing the baking there last year.) It's even better when you get to eat the whole thing, not just lick the spoon!
Needless to say, it was fantastic and we enjoyed it thoroughly.
