For Valentine's Day this year, Mom and Dad took Joo and me to Whole Foods for a full seven course meal served up by a French chef and his culinary students. The menu was cryptic and modern including items like "Caesar's salad, revisited" (shown above).
Just in case we needed a rest during the two and half hour meal, there was a refreshing intermezzo (intermission) where we had a cute little cabernet sorbet served on top of an original ice sculpture...
The guy beside me was pretty quiet all night long until he heard that Joo and I had been to Peru. Then he excitedly told us all about his business scheme to start raising and selling the Peruvian delicacy of cuy in the United States (I'm not sure what his prospects will be considering that cuy is skinned and cooked guineau pig...)
The meal ended with an appropriately titled, "Death by Chocolate" designed especially on a couple's plate to be shared by two.
A scrumdiddlyumptious evening!
