Last night was the Food and Wine Showcase at the Museum of Contemporary Art. It really was an awesome experience and I was so grateful that Breville offered to buy my team tickets. The chefs from the top Chicago restaurants were there, preparing and offering up food and drink. Some of the featured restaurants were: 312 Chicago, Alinea, Mas, mk, moto, North Pond, Schwa, Scylla, Spring, Green Zebra, Custom House and Charlie Trotter's. Some of the food I ate (I can't believe I ate some of this and Pete, please don't be mad...): Quail egg ravioli with truffle oil, Lamb wonton, Veal with cucumber, Priscutto, Artichoke soup with hazelnut and bacon, Caramel wrapped bacon (this was delicious!), seared tuna, salmon with prissimon and yogurt sauce, Cuban pork, some jelly thing from Charlie Trotter's, and potato leak soup with mint marshmallow.
I also tried a glass of champagne, 4 red wines and 3 white wines.
What a feast!
