Seared Scallops (with spinach rather than the usual frisée, by request.)
Pork Croquettes, Blood Sausage
Fried Oysters
Grilled Sweetbreads
Pork Shank
Pork Shoulder
Steak Frites
Quail with Foie Gras and Truffle
The oysters had a light, airy crunch, and a creamy, juicy interior. The sweetbreads were smooth and delicate, with a slight smoky crust from the grill. The pork shank was tender, with a nice caramelized exterior, the bite of mustard and cabbage offsetting any residual fat. Quail stuffed with foie and truffles, what could be better? Oh, right, put it on a potato pancake!
I'm eager to find some other vague excuse to head down there and feast, and soon...

I'm in. Is that vague enough? Really, I'm way overdue.
ReplyDeleteI'm confident we can find some other obscure holiday or celebration to use as an excuse to go pig out...
ReplyDeletegreat pics. no flash! yeah. can't wait to try it. Thanks
ReplyDeleteThanks, Brian. Yeah, I'm kind of philosophically opposed to flash photos in restaurants. It annoys other people trying to have a nice meal, and flash pics tend to look kind of washed-out anyway, unless you get crazy with big auxiliary flash units, diffusers, umbrellas, etc. I suspect that might negatively impact the dining experience!
ReplyDeleteSo for now I'll live with a little grain, and a little blur...
But back to food: yes, you should try Cochon immediately!
