Mike's Birthday Dinner

Today was Mike's birthday, so we, of course, went to Parcel 104 for dinner. Chef Anthony and Chef Carlos put together a fantastic dinner for us. Unfortunately, we didn't think of taking pictures of each dish until after we finished eating, so you'll just have to imagine how fabulous everything looked. Here is the menu:

Amuse bouche: Silken egg white with caviar and creme fraische
Course 1: Lobster corn soup
Course 2: Pork belly with passion fruit purée, curried coconut
tapioca, and grilled mango
Course 3: Grilled sockeye salmon with garden vegetables
Course 4: Hickory-smoked barbecued foie gras with cornbread "gnocchi"
and corn pudding (to die for!)
Course 5: Corn and morel mushroom fettucini Alfredo with black truffles
Course 6: Grilled New York steak with corn and grilled mushroom ragout
and fried polenta
Course 7: White peach and watercress salad with peach sorbet, cheese
beignet, and peach compote
Course 8: World's best flan
Course 9: Chocolate pot du creme
Course 10: Molten chocolate cake with grand marnier, vanilla ice
cream, and sliced strawberries
Course 11: Sponge cake with berries and lemon verbena ice cream

Thank you once again to Chef Anthony and Chef Carlos of Parcel 104 for
the absolutely phenomenal dinner! You always make our special
occasions memorable.

  1. Can you folks seriously eat that many courses?! I thought it was your days menu. :)

  2. They pared down the portion sizes for us, so it wasn't full servings of anything (except dessert). Even we are not capable of eating THAT much! It was all so good though!
