Of course I'm talking about the CIA that actually matters... The Culinary Institute of America haha. Just kidding, I'm sure the Canadian-Indian Atheists is a very important institution as well...
Anyway, it was amazing being at a place where I've only heard of on television or read about in books by famous chefs (namely Anthony Bourdain).
We got a nice reservation at A. Escoffier restaurant and had an awesome lunch there.
Here's some pictures of the entrees. The presentations were amazing, but a few items on each plate may or may not have been up to the high standards of taste I set in my mind. Oh, and their menu changes as the seasons go... so I have no idea what these dishes were titled (the menu was in french with english subtitles) and I can't really remember exactly what ingredients were in what, but I'll try to remember.
Roast Lamb with Polenta and a Ratatouille?:
Lamb was average but the sauce was really tasty... I think it had hints of nutmeg and orange in it.
Grilled Chilean Seabass (? I think? or Halibut) served in a light broth with vegetables
Dad's dish. Sort of boring.
Duck Confit with some sauce/bok choy, mushrooms and wild rice
My Mom's dish. Very tender duck and delicious sauce
Filet Mignon with jus and compound butter with a mushroom flan
The flan was amazing. Fluffy and full of flavor.
Raspberry Sorbet with Chocolate Cupcake...
Deliciously sweet... awesome presentation
Flan with Biscotti and Coffe flavored sauce
Awesome.
