I could have continued this lovely madness for another week at least. It is highly instructive to see how top notch culinary artists across a major culinary mecca treat the same basic core ingredients and menu item, in this case, winter squash and a handful of flavor complements crafted into a smooth and silky soup.

It’s a lovely mile walk, or if we are feeling exceptionally lazy, we can hop the streetcar almost to the front door. (You might have seen my earlier article on Wildwood titled, Sweet Briar Farms Pork Chop with Bodacious Corn Hush Puppies. Just looking at the photo of that amazing dish makes me go weak at the knees.)]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://thelunacafe.com/creamy-romaine-soup-with-summer-herb-butter-garlic-croutons/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>8</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Eat.

According to one of the amiable chefs behind the kitchen bar from which MauiJim and I were watching the action, it was cooked sous-vide at 145 degrees--for TWO DAYS.You won’t, however, find this mentioned on the menu. I only suspected it after the fatty portion of the pork belly melted on my palate like warm butter. Then I asked. If I had been paying better attention, the plastic pouch from which the chef removed the portion of pork belly would have been an immediate give-away.

Well, either I was way wrong about the number of restaurants that serve Mac &#038; Cheese or an increasing number of restaurants have recently added the divine macaroni to their menus. Either way, there now seems to be no danger of running out of stellar renditions of this most delicious dish. My ooey-gooey-cheesy cup runneth over!]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://thelunacafe.com/quintessential-mac-cheese-roundup-2009/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>12</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
