day 2 with the ingredients that were procured and thus inspired the menu degustation that lies before you. We took the ideas of the previous day, added, tweaked, deleted, augmented, refined, replated, reformatted and revisited them. Some things may not look much different, but they were handled differently, seasoned in some new fashion, sliced, or left whole to present a whole new dimension. In the end...we liked what we served and how things tasted. So did our guests. I always strive to please myself first, not my guests. I feel that if I can do that, or even come remotely close, then I will most usually and certainly please them. Hope you enjoy...
