Isn't that just pretty? Very nice. Look at that candle. It was like a fire in a cave thingy. Soooo cool. Also, I know you can't see the plate too great but it had a little drawing of a cute little egg thing that was just precious and his signature. Could it be any cuter? Oh, it can. Check out this butter.
That's right people. This whole thing is butter! They even made the friggin butter look artistic. We didn't want to cut from it but we did. ;)
First up, appetizer of pretzel crusted crab cake. Yeah, you don't see the crab until you actually cut into it. It had a tomato orange chutney and poppy seed honey. I also thought I heard the guy say that there was some sort of mango sauce which is the bright yellow. I gotta say this was a weird experience. I never tasted something like this before. The crab is soft and meaty. And its surrounded by slightly salty pretzels which made it kinda difficult to cute but provided a nice contrast of texture. And I found that the salt was balanced out by the sweetness of the honey, orange chutney, and mango sauce. I think the flavors were balanced well and made for a unique experience.
So, just to clarify. This had no steak at all. It was basically lobster that was in the shape of steak which was actually pretty cool. It had caramelized endive, sweet potato, and a vanilla kumquat butter. Yeah, that description drew us in pretty bad especially because it was $46!!!! I gotta say, the lobster was pretty good. I didn't like the caramelized endive at all though ,but I think I just don't like endives in general as I found out that day so maybe it's just me. But I thought the sweet potato went well (because I love sweet potato) and the vanilla kumquat butter was something I never tasted before and it had a unique flavor. Everything here is nothing like I've ever tried which was really cool
Da da da da!!! The thing that we had originally came for! we got a little distracted by the food because I heard that his food was also super stellar so we got some of that too! This is the cheesecake lolipop tree. It had cheesecake pops that were surrounded by chocolate, some praline thingy, a cherry one i think, some blackberries, and a bubblegum foamy thing. That's right a bubblegum cream. I knew going in that this wasn't going to be the most flavorful dessert but I also knew that it would be the most creative and hey, if food network told me to get this, I will try this. So I did. And it is unique. There's a nice crunchy shell and soft, creamy cheesecake on the inside. Kinda like a cake pop but cheesecake form! And that bubblegum cream I liked cuz it was just like chewing bubblegum but mona hated. AND, when we left they gave us two little chocolates in a little boxy thing that was super cute! I dont have a picture though :( Basically, if you want a unique food experience, come to David Burke Townhouse.
