The happiest day of a cook’s life is when a good review of his restaurant gets published. That day, is today, for me. But what makes me even happier, is that I was solely responsible for the consommé this guy loved. Consommé takes a lot of patience to do right, and my last batch, I feel, has been my best yet.
Sounds like A consommé devoutly to be dish’d!
He shoots! He scores!
And, oh yeah, congrats,** CoG888**!
I’m kinda surprised he would use “fucking” in a restaurant review.
Congrats! Now I know where to eat if I’m ever in Denver (though I’ll have to be sure to skip the amuse 
)
I love Jason Sheehan’s reviews, and when he likes something, he lets you know. Go, you!
(to Duke of Rat - this is a review in the local free weekly, and I’ve seen a lot worse in Sheehan’s writing than a “fucking.” But it’s what makes his writing great - he tells it exactly like it is, and he uses the language needed to convey his sentiments.)
Dopefest at the Brown Palace!
My heartiest congratulations. If I’m ever in Denver I now know where to go. :>
OK…so this is obviously not my kind of place. Hell, I didn’t even know what the guy was talking abut half the time. But this really caught my eye:
*An amuse from the kitchen," my waiter said, appearing at my shoulder like a ninja. I expected to see a puff of smoke where he’d materialized. On my liner plate bearing the Brown’s crest, he set a tall, thin cordial glass of something red topped by something gray that smelled faintly of meat.
Seeing my puzzlement, he helpfully explained, “Cranberry cider topped with a foie gras foam. Please enjoy.” *
Huh? In what universe is a drink made of cranberries and goose liver something an actual person would want? What would you have to smoke before serving such a thing would seem like a good idea? If people will pay for that, maybe I should open a restaurant. I’ll let my cat piss on ice cream, serve it in a fancy dish, and charge $300…
Agreed–the amuse-bouche sounds really gross–but God in heaven, I’d kill to go there.
CoG888 is a lucky, lucky person–and very talented. Good for you! snogs
I think I just about had an orgasm reading that review… Congrats CoG888!
The amuse shouldn’t have been “shot”, for starters… you’re supposed to examine it, not head-dive!
I owe Mouse_Maven a dinner, but dunnow if I’ll be able to fit some of CoG888’s cooking in the budget - sounds like a lovely place and some immoraly yummy food, though!
That’s it. I’m leaving for Denver this afternoon, dammit.
Well done, CoG888!
No you’re not. Didn’t you hear about the blizzard?
Everyone, get your stomachs back in line. There’ll be NO grumbling until this storm has gone through!
Congratulations on your consommé, and the overall excellent review!
Like others, I do have to ask if you yourself have tried the cranberry and liver smoothie. I’m intrigued by it.
Wow. And I thought I was adventurous by including hemp oil in mine. 
Congratulations, CoG888!
Congratulations!
As my dad said a while back when my brother opened his first restaurant, “It’s a sign of success when your son opens a restaurant that you can’t afford to eat at!”
No prob. I’m taking the Transcontinental Vactrain. Even with stops in Chicago and Des Moines, I should be there well in time for dinner. 
Pairing fois gras with fruit is hardly anything new. It’s a pretty basic combo and probably is really good. So count me in! I’ll say no to the cat-piss ice cream thing though.
Yeah, but way up there in the frozen peninsula, you guys eat all SORTS of inappropriate animal things.
Including the squeal.
