Chef Surprise Course by Renée Suen 孫詩敏

B.C. Sockeye Salmon Filet Cuit Sous-Vide, Leek & Fennel Fondue

Served with:

Soave "La Rocca", 2000, Pieropan, Italy

Our sommelier was quick to note that the Soave is a single vineyard wine made from Garganega grapes. I thought it was very clean and nice paired with this bonus course.

Slowly cooked sockeye (how I love thee) cut like sashimi were gingerly perched on a bed of braised leeks and fennel. Plated with chervil dressing, this was a silky and luxurious dish. I can live with surprises like this.

Met Food Network's "Iron Chef America," actor Mark Dacascos and Alton Brown at a shoot at Giants Stadium a few years back. Both were very pleasant and accommodating.
