It all started when Ellie Weiss called as we were getting ready to close shop for the night and asked if he and some friends could come over for late night Foie Gras for dessert. We are known for our Foie Gras as we serve a monster portion for only 14 bucks. I get so pissed when I see a silver dollar portion for 20 bucks at other places, so I use it as my Fuck you dish and sell it for cost! Call it our loss leader, but it works because we probably sell more Foie than anyone in Ohio.
So…… The boys showed up and I cooked 3 versions for them, all variations of a savory style, they loved them all, but as we were hanging out, and all of us slightly under the influence, I had an idea! I excused myself, hit the kitchen and returned 10 minutes later with a new preparation that was truly a “dessert Foie Gras”.
The Sweet Foie was born! A grilled espresso blondie, seared salt and pepper seasoned slab of Foie, Dark Chocolate sauce infused with rosemary and cracked pepper, a small dollop of whipped cream. Ellie took the first bite and his eyes rolled back into his head. Silence for 30 seconds as we were waiting for some response, and then he started muttering…. Holy shit, Oh fuck, shit… Oh fuck…! At that point we all grabbed a fork and dug in. Within seconds we were all repeating Ellies words in unison. Plain and simple it may be the best, most unique prep on foie we ever had. Smoky grilled blondie is
Smoore like, the saltly peppery foie and then the herbal and spicy chocolate all come together as sensory overload.
It has been on the dessert menu for over a month now, and the adventerous customers who order it for dessert all have one thing in common. There eyes roll back and they start muttering… Holy shit, Oh fuck……
Long live the Foie!!!!!!!
