deep fried ice cream and ice coffe

On Saturday the dog days started, so before work i met up with my friend Christophe in an air conditioned sandwich bar in Chinatown to have my favorite banh mi ;Vietnamese sandwich with chopped chilies. It was so hot we each had two ice coffees to make sure we would be well awake to work a long hot shift at the restaurant and I tried for the first time deep fried ice cream. I had been curious about it for a long time now. it was good, fried in a crepe and topped with maple syrup it was only 3 dollars. Chris said if we had this at the restaurant we could sell it for 8.

foie gras au torchon

This is foie gras au torchon with an apple and cranberry chutney and nut bread croutons topped with sel de guérande.

So what have you been up to this week end?

Well, as it was the Canadian Grand Prix this week end, I worked many double shifts this week in the hottest conditions in a long time we had lobster from les Iles-de-la-Madeleine on the menu served with mushrom raviolis and lobster stock "monté au beurre".
