Wednesday night I went to Taste of Summer in Central Park. Did I pay the $350 for the tickets? Hell to the No, I got in with one of the restaurants my company represents. Practically everyone did crab and shrimp and not well at that. There were 3 restaurants that had crab cakes and none were what I would call “good”. There was a lot of use of coconut, which is nice for the summer. Some of the stand-outs there were the Smoked Sea Bass Rolls from zocalo, Filet Mignon from Quality Meats and Lever House’s Strawberry Almond Shortcake with lemon cream (pictured).
The winner of the night was definitely San Domenico’s Soft Egg Yolk filled Raviolo in truffled butter. The yolk oozed out as you cut into it and the truffle butter was just the perfect touch to make it over-the-top decadent. I could only eat one, though I wanted to cram more into stomach.
Some notes:
I was wearing jeans and a button down shirt (fancied up for me) and a majority of the other ladies in the place were dressed in the tackiest prom dresses circa 1995. I have never seen such amazing fashion (amazing in a bad way). Also, where does Serendipity 3 get off making a drink called Frrrozen Hot Chocolate? Where I come from, that’s called chocolate milk or a milkshake. Maybe it’s just me.
