I am throwing my arms wide open...(you could say my mouth!) to the tasting opportunities that recent travels have provided. And oh, what treasures we have in this country...we...yes, we Americans, know how to stir it up! On a recent stay in South Carolina, I was able to travel to Charleston and dine at the acclaimed "Husk Restaurant" named Bon Appetit Magazine's 2011 Best New Restaurant in America...need I say more?
What an inspiration...here is the thing, the food was definitely "Farm to Table" served in fresh and creative ways. This inspires me to seek out the freshest local ingredients and import the rest! To think harder, try harder to deliver to my students and guest a dining experience that always involves a new twist or delivery.
My favorite at Husk....is hard to pinpoint...but actually, it was more the ambiance, including the bigger then life blackboard announcing where all there foods had been acquired from down to the "chocolate". As a finale the coffee service, with the beautiful individual French Press Pots elevated the experience. Wonderful from beginning to end...
I will continue to gather inspiration from these culinary leaders and work hard to share and deliver it right back to our Kitchens Bounty Guest.
