Well, yesterday people heading down to Munich for Oktoberfest this weekend started to arrive in Frankfurt. Actually, we're now only missing my fantastic brother, Marc, who gets in on Saturday at 6am (yikes!!) and the illustrious Kent Middleton, Creative Director extraordinaire who will be meeting us down South.
It should be a pretty fantastic crew T.J. and his wife Melissa, Jeff Cantalupo and his girlfriend Leigh Ann (who just made the big move over to Spain to join him!), Jeff's sister and her husband, Birgit, Marc and I. It's a heavy Leo Burnett crowd, but so much fun.
Last night we went to a restaurant in Frankfurt called Silk. It's one of the molecular gastronomy crowd/avant garde food movement crowd. Obviously inspired by Ferran Adria, it's a good addition to my dining experiences in my long running quest to finally make it to El Bulli. . .
Here are the courses as best I remember them (this is definitely not all of them):
Olive -Olive Juice trapped in a soft casing to look like and Olive (very similar to a dish offered at El Bulli last year)
Salmon in a Cone - A thin wonton wrapper like cone filled with
Risotto
Pear and Goat Cheese - Pear Juice Shooter with Caviar, goat cheese and candied walnut
Breakfast Egg - Slow poached egg at 60C for 6 hours, gnocchi, Parmesan foam
Lobster
Chicken with mushrooms
Brownie withe Pine Tree Sprout Foam - pine tree foam, pomegranate compote, brownie and quark
Apple Tart
Silk Lollipop - Spun Cotton Candy wrapped around a chilled fruit cake (which I think may have been mango?)
