I wanted to go someplace Special for a Special Meal & let me tell you, I was not disappointed at all.
The Standard was running a Special in Honor/ Remembrance of the late
Chef Paul Bocuse
Truffle Soup Elysees
Is a Rich Chicken Broth with pieces of light & dark chicken meat, shaved
Black Truffles, sprinkled with Truffle Oil then topped with a Puffed Pastry Dome.
That Dome was a Perfect Golden Colour & had a nice high rise to it.
When presented it was Fabulous, the first puncture thru the pastry dome & all FABULOUS aromas that filled the room, Priceless.
Ä
Entree was Roasted Duck Bigarade,
Tender Duck Breast, Crispy Skin, with
2 red skin potatoe galettes
( thick, very well seasoned pancakes) with a Rich Brandy infused Blood Orange sauce with orange segments.
To Top this Feast off there was
CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY BOMBE
This is NOT FOR LIGHT WEIGHTS !!!
CALORIE COUNTERS !!!
CHOLESTEROL WORRIORS !!!
A Mousse made with FRESH Raspberries & Real Eggs PLUS SECRET SPICES then a DOUBLE COATING of a Rich European Chocolate Grenache with White Chocolate & Whole Fresh Raspberries.
The Service was good & attentive.
Chef Paul Bocuse would have been very proud to see how successfully one of his more popular menus was executed by Chef Marty Pond & His Brigade.
