at Bluestem in Kansas City
I'll admit that once upon a time, I thought the picture above was just the height of culinary achievement. I am pretty tired of foams, clouds, pillows, etc., etc. as side dishes.
Even though Bluestem -- one of my all-time favorite restaurants -- seems to still be obsessed with this culinary fad, I'll overlook it because the food is just incredible. I did a 5-course menu and everything was just out of this world. Spectacular looking plates that were also delicious.
Here is a recap of my meal:
- My amuse bouche of melon juice with a watermelon foam (pictured above)
- Torchon de foie gras - served with a pour of Sauternes
- Wagyu tartare - served with Gosset Champagne (excellent pairing)
- Deconstructed Bouillabaise with scallop and shrimp (yummy)
- Wagyu striploin - served with some "baby Brunello" (not a big fan of the wine but the Wagyu was just incredible)
- Tres Leche cake with roasted peaches and praline - served with Moscato D'Asti (also excellent)
