Dinner at Lacroix, Philadelphia, PA
Foie Gras with Candied Radish
A gift from the chef, this was quite good.
Crispy trout with gnocci and roasted tomatos. Very tasty.
Parsley and Lily Soup with a Lobster Ravioli
This was was very subtle in flavor, best eaten before other saltier dishes.
Hamachi Pave
Roasted tomatos, scrambled egg, hamachi, beignet. Odd, yet yummy, combination.
ChickenDon't remember the details, but it was good.
Diver Scallops with Veal
Perfectly cooked. Very good.
Beef Tenderloin with Omelet and Gravy.
The beed and the gravy were great, and although tasty, I am not sure the omelet added anything to this dish (save a reason for the eggshell gravy boat).
Lamb T-Bone
Very good, although the small side of miniature zuchinnis and a cake like structure soaking in au jus left something to be desired. Lamb itself was excellent.
Cheese Plate
I don't remember all the names, but there was an aged Gouda with a parmasean-like crystalline texture and tremendous flavor, a very smooth chevre, a sharp blue, a hard cow's milk and a camembert.
Accompaniments for cheese:
Carr's water crackers, pear compote, rhubarb compote and a sweet fennel relish.
Flourless Chocolate cake with coffee ice creamVery good.
Huckleberry Tart with Mango Sorbet.
This was really more of a blondie with a few huckleberries than it was a tart, but it was tasty.
