Last night I had dinner at the Mansion on Turtle Creek in Dallas. The dinner was due to winning a silent auction item and was probably one of the top meals I have had:


Meal:


Foie Gras with smoked salmon, terrine, spinach and toasted brioche


Arctic Char sashimi, green apple, jalapeno, chili oil paired with Ginja Shizuku "Divine Droplets" Junmai Daiginjo Sake


Oysters Hot and Cold - Oyster topped with Ostera Caviar with a small cup of Oyster Stew with Fresh shaved summer truffles paired with Txomin Extaniz Txakoli De Guetaria 2006


Lobster Hot and Cold - Butter poached lobster and Lobster Carpaccio paired with Gini, Soave Classico "La Frosca" 2006


Steamed Alaskan Halibut, celery root puree, almond mile and toasted shaved marcona almonds paired with Frederick Mabileau St Nicolas "Les Rouilleres" 2005


Sweet Breads and Brown Butter paired with Bouchard Pere & Fils, "Beaune du Chateau" 1er Cru 2005


Japanese kob and white tuna surf and turf with kimchi butter paired with Bouchard Pere & Fils, "Beaune du Chateau" 1er Cru 2005


Chocolate & Corn - Warm chocolate financier, corn ice cream, molasses


As we were eating dinner, we were next to a table where Anthony Hopkins was eating dinner. As he finished dinner we knocked on the glass seperating our rooms and all toasted him. He was very gracious and came over to our table and shook our hands and made small talk for a few minutes. All in all a wonderful evening.

Nice!


Yeah, KVIL had him on the morning show today and he seemed just like an everyday, down to earth guy. Glad you got the chance to meet him.
