one of the greatest joys of restaurant cooking is when friends come in to check out what youve been up to, and ask to try all of your latest dishes. deirdre and phil armstrong of harvest thyme herb farm in staunton has been growing specialty produce for us for the last 4 seasons. in celebration of their last delivery until next spring, they joined us on a snowy friday night last week. we presented them with a 7 course tasting with pairings, and it was the highlight of the week. its always a great feeling when your guests leave it up to you to cook what you want to for them. as a chef, i do it all the time, asking the server to tell the chef to choose my courses for me, usually with great success, of course every once in a while, some smartalek puts duck and mahimahi on your plate and calls it modern cooking. i can assure you we wont do that… happy holidays to all and to all a good night! cheers!
you are what you eat?(!)
