Scott is a self-proclaimed "foodie" and has dined at a majority of the well-known establishments in San Francisco. He also knows the chefs names and reputations as well. Down near his current (and soon to be over) gig is one of the four Left Bank restaurants. One of the owners is a man named Roland Passot, the chef at Scott's favorite SF restaurant, La Folie.
Yesterday, Roland hosted a special chef's dinner at the San Mateo location. Here was the menu:
Amuse Bouche
Foie Gras Soup with a Scallop Summer Truffle Ravioli
Seared Striped Bass with Ipswich Clams, Porcini Mushrooms, and a Shellfish Bordelaise
Trio of Beef
Burger Rossini, Braised Beef Short Ribs,
and a Roasted Beef Tenderloin with a Truffle Madeira Sauce
Berry Pot Pie with Crème Fraîche Sorbet
Each course was paired with a different wine (of course I didn't participate in the wine drinking as, well, I know nothing about wine and I don't appreciate it's taste). The food was excellent and the fact that the dinner took three hours to complete was only a sidenote for me, seeing as that I'm all about efficiency. However, the highlight of the evening was dining with two women with whom we had a great rapport. Conversation was interesting, lively and intelligent.
Joan H., myself and Elisa B.
The four of us agreed to meet up again in the near future! I love how it's moments such as these where interesting and dynamic people enter our lives.
