butter on the endive

butter on the endive hosted a trio of dinners recently and we were lucky enough to attend the first dinner, i wanna live with a cinnamon girl (each dinner was named after a song).  this amazing dinner, led by owen from butter on the endive and adam from beta 5 chocolates consisted of 5 plates of goodness.  the setting, a private residence above le marche st. george, itself was as beautiful as the food. simply pretty.

the chefs treated us to an albacore tuna salad, rhubarb risotto topped with white chocolate (i know, rhubarb and white chocolate in a risotto!? it worked wonderfully), and duck breast with fava beans.  stefan picked up a gorgeous gewurtztraminer wine to accompany the dinner.  we finished the evening with two yummy desserts, a tallegio sponge cake with plum and a chocolate ganache tart with olive oil.  all of it perfect. 

i am so glad we got tickets, their other chef in residence dinners were sold out.  a huge thank you to the folks behind butter on the endive for coming up with the brilliant idea of a pop-up restaurant.  it was a lovely evening of good food and good people.
