Food chat June 13 at 11 a.m.
Lumiere and Area Four chef Michael Leviton offers tips on 10 things every cook should know. What are the skills, techniques, ingredients, and dishes you fall back on time and time again?
We take you from fine dining to burger joints: What is your opinion of L'Espalier? And food editor Sheryl Julian visits Grass Fed in JP and finds the burgers lacking. Have you been?
Also: This week I review Nix's Mate, in the Hilton downtown, where chef David Nevins mixes standards like roast chicken and burgers with creations such as lamb tonnato and Maine lobster in caramel sauce. How do you view hotel restaurants now? Bastions of trite dishes geared toward weary travelers, or simply restaurants that are part of the dining landscape, like any other?
We'll talk about that and more Wednesday, June 13, at 11 a.m. Hope you can join us.
