Please join me for my  featured 3-course dinner at Coffee Bar Cafe in Potrero Hill on Saturday, March 19. Three courses is just $35, with wine pairings by Coffee Bar for an extra $20. There are two seatings to choose from – either at 6:30 or 8:30.

Below is the invitation with the details and the menu – I hope to see you there!

And here are some notes on the menu:

FIRST COURSE: Nothing screams, ‘Spring‘ to me like Green Garlic soup. I’m going to finish this dish with herb croutons and a drizzle of Mani Olive Oil, which I believe is one of the greatest oils on the planet. Mani Olive Oil is made from the Koreneikoi variety of olive that are grown from small producers on the Mani peninsula in Southern Greece. I was introduced to this oil on Top Chef by Eli when we were cooking for Joel Robuchon. He pulled it from a box of ‘secret ingredients‘ and we used it as a finishing element for our dish – poached lobster, cauliflower puree, and sauce American. Lets just say that Chef Robuchon went wild.

SECOND COURSE option 1: This will be my interpretation of the traditional Coq au Vin. We use Mary’s Free Range Chicken from Pittman Family Farms in the San Joaquin Valley. They are air chilled, which saves 30,000 gallons of chlorinated water every day, and produces a better tasting chicken. Without the added water they produce a crispier skin.

SECOND COURSE option 2: Soft Egg, pipperade, and polenta – I learned to make pipperade when I was the Sous-Chef at Moose’s  in 1992.  After busy nights of service, feeding 250-300 hungry folks, my favorite meal was a warm bowl of polenta topped with pipperade and parmesan cheese. A real comforting dish and  one I still crave. With  the welcomed  addition of the soft boiled egg, I am sure you will be licking the bowl to get every last morsel of flavor.

THIRD COURSE: Chocolate pretzel tart – I made recently  as part of a beer dinner I hosted in collaboration with Marin brewing company for beer week. It was a crowd favorite and deserves another showing.

LEFT COAST REMEMBERS…
Erin may well have been the most mellow and decisive bride we have ever
worked with. She knew what she wanted and that made working
with her a breeze. Her color scheme was blue, red, white, and grey
without being patriotic. The linens were Wedgewood blue with white
napkins topped with simple white vases and red dahlias. The look was
stunning. Her friends and family were a delight to serve, and they loved the
entire evening right down to the fried chicken bites!

The Google team came to us with very clear guidelines: “We want whimsical modern food and sleek presentation.”  We took their challenge and met it.  Each appetizer had a playful name and was served on custom created platters.  This was a hard crew to impress, because they had seen it all.  In the end they were thrilled with our work.  This just goes to show that even a massive company like Google can still be wowed.
