Meaty, Succulent and Juicy...

The fourth in a series of variable tastes, textures, flavors and presentations. This one based on the more  heartier of the fare. The meat courses...mostly the main or more final courses of the bold savory menu,  before the sweets come into play. As a lot of tasting menus tend to go, the meat course is not always the most sexy and captivating as we have just experienced so many tastes and textures before then and with fun, lively, typically more exciting dishes and vibrant flavors with pop and pizzazz. I try to not allow the let down come at that point and make the whole experience of taste and flavor run the gamut and actually come to a striking point with the meat course, only before being aroused again for the series of sweet tastes climax. I must admit however, as much as I love to eat meat dishes, I find the fish courses, shellfish and foie gras more interesting and satisfying. But in the end, a great dish is a great dish, a great meal is a great meal and a great chef & team is a great chef & team. Carry on...
