memoirs of a palate

WORDS CAN'T DESCRIBE





Friday night we did a little birthday dinner with Grant & Sara at one of my favorite spots in all of NYC - Ivo & Lulu. The night was perfect and the food, as always, was totally amazing. We were sitting really close to the door so it was a little chilly, but we ended up staying forever and just getting down with a couple bottles of wine. We found a great new Malbec and a Pinot Noir Meena loves.

Alec had the:

- baked pear with blue cheese and honey garlic oil
- wild boar and sage sausages in a blueberry sauce

Meena had the:
- smoked mussels in cilantro chili butter
- broiled chicken with goat cheese and papaya puree

Grant & Sara started with the:
- grilled avocado with spinach mousse and shiitake vinaigrette

Then Grant also had the boar sausages and Sara did the:

- Duck breast with ... something. Can't remember. It was lovely though.

We then finished with the coconut flan and the apple soufflé.

Wonderful
