Foie Gras & Flannel

I teased Saturday’s dinner on TasteFresno, but the two photos I posted didn’t do the full spread justice. David (of The Cured Ham), Chef Tommy, and Falina put on an incredible feast–one of the tastiest meals I’ve had, actually.

For more photos and the full menu (including a description of the “Prime Tasting of Three Ranches”) check out The Ham’s recap.

For dessert: bread pudding with praline sauce. *drool*

Did I mention there was wine? Brut, brut rose, Sangiovese, cabernet sauvignon, muscat canelli and port, to be specific. Also, Averna (that’s what Kim’s clutching below), grappa and rum.

Special thanks to Falina and John for hosting. Looking forward to many more gatherings!

Waffles are the new pancakes:

No Network shows the man behind the bread pudding. Watch, then make it yourself.
