the chefs went a bit nutty today and almost everything has a goofy name. lunch was chicken devotion,a french version of cacciatore. the chicken was moist and tender, napped with a white wine, shallot, and parsley sauce full of thin-sliced mushrooms. i also took an enchanted short rib of beef braised in red wine, mushrooms, and garlic until all the collagen and fat had dissolved into tenderness and delight.
then, after lunch, john told me that he was serving up oysters and vodka tonight. i suggested freezing the vodka into a block of ice for service and, lo!, was there not a brace of shotglasses filled with malpeque oysters and ice-cold grey goose vodka at dinner.
