The Essence of Burgundy event earlier this year in April at Screaming Eagle restaurant was a huge success and all food and wine pairings presented that evening were very well received by a cheering crowd of food & wine aficionados.
Friends of Screaming Eagle restaurant and fans of its Executive Chef Erwin Hüsken attended a culinary extravaganza featuring a special Louis Jadot menu. Chefs Erwin Hüsken teamed up with Chef Bram Verleg, Head Chef of the Flying Fishbone restaurant in Savaneta, to create a truly impressive pairing, befitting the fine wines of Louis Jadot, a French wine company which produces and markets Burgundy wines.
The menu took off with Canadian lobster, accompanied by apple, curry mayonnaise and Dutch herring caviar which was paired with Chassagne Montrachet, Domaine du Duc de Magneta, 1er Cru, Clos de la Chapelle; The first appetizer delivered pan fried veal sweetbreads over mousseline sauce flavored with smoked celeriac and morel, paired with Corton-Charlemagne, Grand Cru; The second appetizer revealed pan fried Norwegian halibut with aligot of brie de meaux cheese, and a duck liver curl over red wine reduction, paired with Gevrey-Chambertin Estournelles Saint-Jacques, 1er Cru. The much-applauded main course Grilled NY striploin of American bison served with sweet potatoes, haricots verts and melted café de paris butter paired with Pommard Grand Epenots, 1er Cru, was followed by Époisses de Bourgogne cheese, served as crème brûlée, escorted by a cumin puff pastry and apple marmalade, paired with Corton Greves, Grand Cru, for dessert.
