On May 21st, we gathered with our children at Victor Restaurant in Toronto. At this venue they have an Iron Chef Challenge with a 5 course meal. You choose the ingredient and members of the kitchen staff cook each cook one of the dishes using that indgredient. The dish with the highest score as rated by the diners wins the challenge. The indredient we chose was beer. So the beer battle was on.
After each course, we evaluated the dish using this criteria:
-How well was the theme ingredient incorporated into the dish
-How original was the dish or how authentic
-Presentation
-Taste
Homemade Pretzels with Sierra Nevada and White Cheddar Fondue
Shrimp & Tuna Ceviche with Corona Lime Vinaigrette and Crispy Corn
Raddler Glazed Duck Breast on Mustard and Fennel Spaetzle
Family Style Stout Braised Beef Ribs with Traditional Accompaniments
Millstreet Coffee Porter Chocolate Cake with Stout Pastry Cream and Vanilla Ice Cream
The evening was great! Good company, good conversation and of course, good food.
The winning dish was the Shrimp & Tuna Ceviche which was cooked by the Sous Chef.
We would highly recommend this culinary experience.
