Kicked off Houston Restaurant Week 2010 with my BCFL, Andie, at beautiful place called Rainbow Lodge off E TC Jester and Ella.
1st course: Seared Sea Scallop, Fennel and White Bean Puree, Tomato Pistou
2nd course: Grilled Hanging Tender, Creamed Spinach, Duck Fat Fingerlings, and Hollandaise
3rd course: Croissant Bread Pudding with Bourbon Sauce
My cousin had the butter lettuce hearts with bailey hazen bleu dressing and toasted hazelnuts, slow cooked boar shoulder and sweet potato cake, and trio of refreshing (very refreshing) summer sorbets.
Bests of the night: sea scallops, butter lettuce hearts, grilled hanging tender, duck fat fingerlings and the trio of fresh strawberry, coconut, and mango sorbets.
The hanging tender was, well...super tender and melt-in-your-mouth buttery. Sea scallops seared to perfection. Lettuce hearts were perfectly dressed and crisp. Duck fat fingerlings were incredible because duck fat doesn't disappoint. The sorbets were a great way to end the evening because they delivered their refreshing promise, as well as cleansed our palettes after our protein-filled meal.
I forgot my camera so no pictures until my cuzzie uploads them. HRW ends on August 21 so enjoy yourself a delicious meal while donating to the Houston Food Bank!
