Aerial View: Roasted Elk Loin lentils du puy, honey mushrooms, pickled blueberries, swiss chard, roasted beets, carrots, shallot demi ($36) Those who've dined out with me on more than one occasion have come to realize that I'm a sucker for game. It's what I gravitate to without question, preferring rare-cooked beast over any other protein. In some instances I'm met with a plate that is one dimensional, but in this case - perhaps heightened by the well loved cutting board that posed as a large serving plate (although a brief thought of health code sanitation did cross my mind - very brief. Scientist here.) - a literal forest of textures and flavours.I felt like I should have been enrobed in a lumberjack shirt as I dug into the platter. Here a delightful and almost creamy bed of al dente lentils du puy, with juicy pickled blueberries tucked in between, was topped by nature's candies (aka sweet crisp roasted carrots and beets), scatterings of enoki (baby honey?) mushrooms, and dense sauce mopping cooked swiss chard. The star, a sliced loin of roasted elk sat like the proud specimen it was over the hearty mess (a good thing - made it easier to tuck into) and was almost too generous a portion (not that that's a complaint) making this a great plate for the hungry or to share. Well executed and solid dish. Tin Foil Gourmet
This weekend was the much anticipated 2nd annual Sandwich Seafood Extravaganza™ held in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. 10 of us (6 New York residents and 4 Bostonians) descended on the Shawmee-Crowell State Park for a showcase exclusively of fresh seafood and organic vegetables cooked over an open fire. The delectable menu included: Shrimp Cocktail, Lobsters with Garlic Butter, Sea Scallops, Corn on the Cob, Couscous, Vegetable Medley (Broccoli, Summer Squash, Onions, Garlic, Purple Basil), and Peaches & Plums. The meal was accompanied by the Yankees vs. Red Sox baseball game broadcast on an itouch and speakers. Yes, we roughed it. Outnumbered 9-to1, the one fan of the Bronx Bombers in attendance was victorious but in the end we were all winners.
