I had the privilege to attend one of Tom Call's pop up dinners again last week and wanted to provide the details here. The dinner was set downtown in the new city creek area. Overall it was a great time and I would highly recommend that you try to get on Tom's list for these dinners. Mostly photos for you here:
Herb Rolls and Handmade Butter
Winter Soup prior to the addition of the soup - squash, spiced pumpkin seeds, "snow" (parmesean) and sprouts
...and now with a bit of squash soup...
Frisee and arugula with hazelnut, plumped fruit, robiola and a smoked citrus vinaigrette
Ricotta dumplings with spinach, roasted vegetables and a lemon emulsion. This was one of the most interesting and controversial courses of the night. I loved it mostly because it was so different - others said they coul dhave done without it.
Roasted Utah trout with an almondine sauce, cauliflower and butter croûton. Best dish of the night by a large margin - the sauce was excellent.
Red-wine braised beef with a truffle puree
House made feta bruschetta with caper berries and black olive oil
There was also a dessert, but it wasn't much to write home about - just a berry crisp with lemon ice cream.
The Verdict? This was another great meal from Tom Call. I ate way too much but also got to try really interesting combos throughout the meal - Tom has always managed to come up with just the right blend of comfort and creativity in his cooking.
