Trogdor the Chefinator

My foodie weekend

Making food in this town has its drawbacks. Primarily where to go eat on my days off when in search of a restuarant.

We had 3 different choices for Saturday night:

1: The Governors Club. (private establishment with a nice wine list-questionable food tho)
2: Chez Pierre (to be waited upon by my room-mates g/f sketchy food at best but I know the exec chef and he could prepare off menu dishes were he so inclined.)
3: Kitchos (great sushi bar, with one of our staffs b/f cutting sushi for us)

After much flip-flopping we decided to go to Chez, as it was my room-mates g/fs last night there at work before moving to Omaha.

We get there and are seated (in the worst fucking spot imaginable and are then moved to a smaller more private room.)

We order a round of drinks Grey Goose Martini for myself and a peach martini for the Milf.
After our server goes and asks the Chef if he would like to do a meal off menu for us and he agrees we are off and running.

Course one arrives with her getting a plate of large pink peppered sea scallops and apple rissoto and a crab napleon in a curry sauce for me.
Very tasty.
Second course is hearlded by our bottle of Veuve Clicqout Champagne arriving.
Our next course was two plates of seared grouper stuffed with a salmon mousse and fresh leaves of basil served on a bed of ratatouille.

When I ask how many more rounds we have coming our server says we still have our entrees to go. Which terrifys Milf because she is already stuffed and tipsy. Though it saddens me as I can go on eating course after course of great food.

Before our entrees arrive the Chef comes out to chat and have some of our champagne. A skinny, animated little frenchmen from Alsace so he has a thick french/German accent which alone would make for difficulty in understanding him but add to it he delivers it in a rapidfire stuccato.
So fun and entertaining.
He asks me about the restaurant and tells me of his new venture to open hopefully by November. Which sounds promising.

Our entrees arrive and we pour more champagne Rack of lamb with an herbed goatcheese crust and a cumin jus over scalloped potatoes.
A little gamey but delicious.

Last but not least he sends out 3 different desserts for us: The creme brulee which was very nice and profiteroles and a peanutbutter mousse which were not.

Again he comes out to chat and immediately tells us that he only made the creme and the others the "pastry chef" had done.

We chat and drink with him for about 45 minutes and then we must leave stuffed.

Go home passout and get up the next morning for a 3 mile hike with Walter the wonder dog and milf then back to her place for the massages I had brought to us.

Aww yeah.

Sometimes it is ok being me.

Of course lots and lots of dirty sex.
