Random Thoughts on Food (part 2)...

spice crusted moularde duck

parsnip puree, sweet garlic, baby turnips, huckleberry essence

To re-enter where I left off, this was part of a succession of tastes that took place within a couple week span, made up of various ingredients, a handful of chef's tables and events, a multitude of moods and vibes and a simple visionary mission to create tasty dishes for anyone who will care to be at our mercy to indulge in such a feat. Some of the preparations and presentations are spin-offs and redo's of a prior, some are new and unprecedented and then there are those that perhaps have just been lurking in the shadows of my mind waiting to be unleashed without me even knowing it. Cool shit. Hope you find enjoyment in them...
