chefdance
So every year at Sundance they have "ChefDance", where a different top chef from the country is brought in and makes dinner for 200 of his closest friends...or at least friends of somebody. Luckily I knew a guy (thanks Jim), so I go to partake
The chef was Todd English of Olives. Menu was:
Shaved pear and endive salad, aged Spanish goat cheese crostini and toasted almond vinaigrette
Onion soup risotto, roasted bone marrow and grilled onion-parsley salad
Rack of lamb, mustard fruit minted faro kibbe, green beans, grapes and honey aioli
Bitter sweet chocolate cake, candied chestnut soup and shestnut ice cream
Works for me. Chris Cooper was there (saw him), and evidently Neil Young was there too (didn't see him). A good time was had by all, although I'm hoarse from trying to talk business over the din. Oh the sacrifices...
