day 21: the 5th tasting menu

Once a month, the head chefs and I collaborate with the bar on a paired tasting menu. This is one of my favorite tasks at the restaurant, and this menu did not disappoint. Of course, all of the cocktails (this month's theme) were also delicious.

3 beet salad with arugula pesto, cucumbers, and parmesan

flat-iron steak with béarnaise, chimichurri, artichoke heart, and bacon puree
