Last night Allison and Gina invited us to join them at the Uptown Billiards Club for a five course "Happy Hour" early dinner. The theme this week is chocolate so each of the five courses had chocolate as an ingredient.
If I had to live life without chocolate, I'd have no problem doing so but I was still very impressed by the skill the Chef used in making this very interesting menu. We started with a Chocolate Fondue, then Vichyssoise with White Chocolate. This was followed by Cocoa Dusted Grilled Sturgeon, then Rack of Lamb with Black Truffle and Cocoa Butter. Dessert was a Flourless Chocolate Cake served with Cocoa Chantilly. All five courses were served with a small glass of wine that complemented each course; most from Italy and France.
They serve this dinner only for early diners (between 4:30 and 6:00 p.m.) but the cost for the food and wine is a reasonable price of $25 so we decided that eating early was a "good thing".
