It's menu development time in the kitchen and the Guilties are a glowing. It's one of my favorite times of the year as innovation abounds. We love to create great food.
When it comes to new food ideas, I certainly have my favorites. At the top of my Guilty scorecard is a visit to the dairy aisle. Is there any flavor more enjoyable than a delicious cream sauce? Whether it's Chicken au Poivre, Fennel au Gratin or Lobster Gnocchi, 40% heavy cream is always a panacea and a wonderful Guilty Pleasure.
Recently I was cooing like a baby with each scrumptious bite that I savored of our latest menu masterpiece, Veal Rocco. The hand-sliced veal was so tender it surrendered to my fork. The Chef's roasted shallot cream sauce was like discovering an epicurean pot of gold.
Wealth takes many forms on Guilty Way.
