Dinner from the Movies, a Culinary Tribute to the Big Screen

Hello Foodie Friends,

It's not often that I receive an invitation to something as clever as this special event I was invited to recently at 50 Ocean in Delray Beach. It's also not often that I find myself full before the end of a tasting menu, but this was the case on this night. Lucky for me, I had some yummy leftovers to chow down on the next day.

 

My date for the evening, Miss Enid Atwater

Corn & Bacon Mandolin, caviar dill creme

Buttered Stone Ground Grits, Andouille stuffed Shrimp, molasses drizzle

Summer veggies, tomato fondue & crispy artichoke

Prime Slider, Foie Gras, roasted garlic aioli, tomato jam, buttered brioche

Fresh lobster, shellfish butter, large cut sofrito

18 hour brisket, sweet n sour cabbage, emmentaler bechamel, rye gratinee

peanut butter banana sushi, captain crunch, blueberry "pixie stick"

A surprise ending, a mammoth "Willy Wonkaish" piece of chocolate wrapped in gold foil and filled with bacon, cranraisins and other goodies. OMG Delish!!
