California Cuisine = California born + California raised
What is California Cuisine? Let me explain. California Cuisine means that the ingredients are locally sourced and grown. Since the climate remains favorable throughout the year, California bears fruit to some of the best food in the United States. Imagine wine from rolling hills of Napa Valley... fruits and vegetables from the sun-drenched Central Coast... fish from the ides of the Pacific... and meat from the endless green valleys. Hands down, California Cuisine is my favorite "genre" of food. It's sustainable, local and delicious!
Where can you find a restaurant like this, you may ask? Lucques. Voted one of the best restaurants in town by Los Angeles Magazine, chef and owner Suzanne Goin offers sensational seasonal dishes that you cannot turn down. As writer Terri Gelber puts it, "Goin’s gospel is her commitment to the freshest ingredients available; her way of combining those ingredients in novel but impeccably appropriate ways continues to awe those who dine at her restaurant." So. Damn. Good.
Let's examine. Today's supper menu (in honor of the NFL Superbowl) includes:
chopped salad with bacon, apple, romaine and blue cheese dressing
***
ode to clam chowder-- patriots' fish stew with rock cod, clams fennel and potatoes
or
giants' beef brisket with perogis, red cabbage and horseradish
***
boston cream pie
and
new york cheesecake with harry's strawberries
45 dollars per person
No big deal. California Love.
