| - I have been a huge fan of Susur Lee since his appearance on Top Chef Masters - all of his dishes looked phenomenal and unbelievably tasty! So, when I saw that his restaurant, Lee, was on the roster for Winterlicious 2012, I jumped/lunged at the opportunity and quickly made a reservation for my boyfriend and I.
$35 for a 3-course meal? Awesome.
The good:
- my saketini: very tasty, good mix of sake and vodka with a slight hint of sweetness
- sticky rice with jerk chicken: Susur's take on this Jamaican classic...AMAZING. The sticky rice had the perfect steam and texture, and the chicken was almost like duck - super tender, flavourful, could just pull it off the bone with my fork. STRONGLY recommend.
- dessert: my boyfriend had a kind of chocolate cake thing. NOM.
Overall, some high points, some low...mainly the low being the service. Dude, if we don't want the Asian slaw the first time you ask, we probably won't the next three either.
