“Okay, it’s just some bread” - Started with Sriracha Focaccia which was much tastier than I was expecting. It was super light, had a nice spicy kick and was nicely salted.




“Hey, I like scallops but can’t remember anything else” - Next came scallops on hay with some sort of Japanese rice, some sort of frothed something, agave drops and a bunch of other ingredients.




“Okay, blood sausage is damned tasty plus bonus shrimp” - Langoustine and boudin noir was up next with carrot puree, powdered squid ink and about 8 other ingredients I forgot as soon as I heard them.




“That’s a lot of compressing” - Mackarel and blood orange with cucumber compressed with fennel and fennel compressed with ginger and about 5 other ingredients plus some sour dough bread chips.




“Bacon. Win.” - Next up was a sweet pea globe which was some sort of pea-tasting frozen concoction that came with goat cheese, snap peas, lime and a whole lot of other things. This course would have not stood out to me but they stapled some bacon to it which elevated it to amazing status.




“How am I supposed to eat this?” - Next was the skill testing course which came in a hanging globe and had to be eaten with chopsticks. I was so focused on not breaking the globe with the chopsticks I don’t really know what I ate. It was some sort of duck with some edible flowers maybe. It was good and I didn’t break the globe. Win?




“This smells amazing!” - Next was a soup with Japanese pear, ox tongue, a quail egg, some other stuff and a miso broth. This course and the next were paired with a beer instead of a wine, Rodenbach Vintage Flanders Red Ale from Roeselare, Belgium. It was pretty sour but very tasty, nice stuff!




“O.M.G.” - Next was eel wrapped in chicken skin and deep fried. This was ridiculously good. I suspect you could wrap most anything in chicken skin and deep fry it and it would be good. I’m pretty sure Loco made a similar argument in some thread with dog **** as an example not long ago. This came with some tasty mushrooms and other stuff. The pic does not do it justice. I do not possess the vocabulary to do this justice. Just amazing.




“Well how the hell are they going to top that?” - Next was Cornish hen and black garlic with some cheesy bits and mini fingerling potato. Okay. Nothing can ever be compared fairly after the deep fried chicken skin wrapped dog **** or eel or whatever.




“Man, they should have wrapped this in chicken skin and deep fried it” - Sous vide veal loin with gnocci, ****ake mushrooms, some sort of cabbage and other things. This was pretty good, but damn, deep fried chicken skin wrapped stuff is ridiculous.




“Well ain’t that cute” - Then we headed into the dessert courses, starting with an emoji quince and clove concoction which was much tastier than I would have guessed.




“Morbid but cool” - The tombstone dessert gets top marks for creativity plus it was damned tasty. Some sort raspberry thing with mocha chunks and green mossy yumminess.




There was another dessert which was a helium filled balloon with a fruit rollup string holding it that I missed taking a pic of. I missed snapping a pic of a palate cleansing foie gras wrapped cherry somewhere in there as well.

All in all a great meal. Would repeat.
