Never let it be said that Terry doesn't know how to do it right. Not only did we see the theaters yesterday, but she shared with us her winning bid for a chef's table at Restaurant Latitude 41, one of Columbus' premier restaurants. She had submitted and won with her bid during the WOSU fund-raiser.
Dinner began with introductions from the manager, servers, assistant chef and eventually the chef himself. A rose cava Cristalino from Spain, with buckwheat soba noodles and Asian vegetables in a chili oil and soy dressing. The next, a NZ Martinsborough Sauvignon Blanc, Craggy Range, single vineyardm Te Muna Road vineyard, 2005 (imported by Kobrand of NY) with a salad of local mesclun and local fresh soybeans.
This was followed by the chef's special macaroni and cheese--this time an orzo with lobster in a cream and paremsan sauce topped with a wafer of fried parmesan. Exquisite, definitely the best bite of the meal. The accompanying wine was a 2005 Sonoma Hayman Hill Chardonnay Reserve.
Next came a 2006 Valpolicella Masi Brancasta with roasted scallops with fresh corn and truffle relish.
To finish the mean entrees, we had a grilled filet of beef on a bed of kale with a Vidalia onion stuffed with mashed potatoes coupled with a 2004 Ravenswood Sonoma Zinfandel.
Dessert was either beignets done New Orleans style with a coffee pannecotta or a bread pudding with creme anglais, with a 2006 St. Supery Moscato.
What a meal!
