Chef's Kitchen

Last night was the final birthday celebration, where I cashed in on Corbett's gift, which was dinner for two at A Chef's Kitchen. This is a place, for those unfamiliar with it, where you sit through a cooking class while they prepare and serve your dinner. The menu was:

Spaghetti Squash & Pea Shoots with Kafir Lime in a Green Onion & Ginger Broth

Asparagus, Artichoke & Chiffonade Lettuce with Lemon Dijon Vinaigrette

A Chef’s Kitchen’s Skillet Baked Corn Bread

Sauté of Wild-Caught Gulf Shrimp with Fennel, Leeks & Saffron

Roast Rack of Grass-fed New Zeal& Lamb with Sautéed Red Potatoes & Shallots and Morel Mushroom Fumé

Chocolate Mousse Napoleon with Bali Vanilla Shortbread Cookies & Dewars Butterscotch Syrup

And it was amazingly delicious and super fun! Imagine watching the Food Network but you get to eat the food (and no offense to most of the Food Network chefs, but we're talking the most delicious food ever!). That, with the glass of champagne and three glasses of wine, is something I would totally want to do again, and perhaps we will before we leave the 'burg.
