uni.foie.bay scallop.



This is a dish I made on the spot really, it is just really luxurious ingredients put together and worked rather harmoniously.   And what this dish lacks in aesthetic more than makes up for in flavor.


elements include:
roasted foie gras
bay scallops
caramelized fennel
baby pea shoots

This is a duo of uni by my sous chef Jorge Ortiz. Again its truly amazing to see his work evolve dish by dish,  I mean from his very first dish I posted compared to this one, they are light years apart in terms of creativity and aesthetic, and it only gets better with time,  its an honor for me to see, and at times help nurture his talent.

elements include:
uni, bay scallop, chive puree

uni, pickled celery, seared persimmon.
