Yes! It's definitely what takes food from great to "next level." I'm not familiar with New Nordic cuisine. Any suggestions for familiarizing myself? It sounds crazy. The horseradish sorbet I had at a place in vegas which had some tremendous offerings. They also had a duck confit pasta which blew my mind, I think you'd enjoy looking over the menu: https://www.cosmopolitanlasvegas.co...s/RRL/restaurant_rrl_dinner_menu_20170913.pdf "Mousse" might not have been the right word for it. But it was a very very light, yet dense mixture of avocado with a hint of wasabi. It's at the Continental: Dinner | Continental Atlantic City
I was puzzled by the dish, but now it makes more sense to me. Maybe some molasses or sugar or something on the coconut and then slow roast it to really bring out the sweetness? I'm not sure if burnt is what you want. It seems like it could be fantastic if executed well.
Thanks! Yeah I make the mex lasagna myself...absolutely love it. I use Frontera Enchilada Sauce. Its a packet I can find at my local grocery store. And mushroom gray is sooo good. Its great with a jaeger schnitzel, but amazing on a pork chop or chicken too.
They really do. I just found out he has a restaurant in Philly, so I'll have to check it out soon. I hear great things!
holy fuck how did I not know this. I'm headed over there on Monday to watch a sixers game. Gonna have to check it out. Have you been to some Jose Garces' spots?
Apparently its at Penn University so I dont know if its a full fledged restaurant or not. I've been to Distrito in Philly, which was fantastic. I'm a huge mexican food junkie. One of my fave Mex restaurants in Philly is El Rey on Chestnut. #trusttheprocess
Same! Distrito is awesome. The menu at Tortas Frontera seems pretty limited. Might not be that big. I will check out El Rey. Also, Whiskey Village by Garces is awesome. I still need to check out Amada, The Olde Bar, and some of his other places in the city. I'm a suns fan. but i do #trusttheprocess
Nice! I'll check it. I got interested on New Nordic from the first episode of Eat The World with Emeril. And that the Swedes are so into wild root and berry picking. Very intriguing stuff.
Yeah I guess I should have changed the language to just caramaleized. That tiniest bit of burnt flavor like you get on like a creme brûlée I'm interested in too. Obviously this would be more savory and less sweet. It's actually the one dish that was inspired by other real thing I saw. It was from the New Nordic episode of that aforementioned show actually. It was just a la cart langoustine (which is like a giant crawfish caught in the North Sea off the coast of Sweden) tail seared with beef fat.
Beef fat makes such wonderful french fries too. I'm definitely gonna look into this Nordic food you're talking about.
@Justice Beaver @mr_november what are you ordering from the other's menus? @Garrett L. I really want to see what your concept looks like
I still want to make one but I'm pretty busy this week so not sure if I'll get to it. I still haven't even read through all the other menus yet
