keeping within the spirit of Halloween.
INSIDE/OUT CHICKENchicken heart & guts infested with maggots
This dish didn’t come together until we actually plated it. I had so many ideas for it that I just didn’t know what the end result was going to be, but it turned out quite nice.
I used a needle syringe to inject the raw chicken heart with the chicken jus which I reduced, mounted with butter, and then dyed with beet juice. You can actually insert the needle right into the arterial tubes and it’ll pool up in a hollow area in the heart. Pretty awesome.
The breakdown:
chicken heart - grilled chicken heart injected with blood jus
guts - chicken stew
maggots - risotto
egg in nest - soft-boiled quail egg, potato frites, & sweet potato puree
that thing on the left - sous-vide & fried boneless chicken wing
BURIAL GROUNDS
human bone & rotting flesh with larvae
Here’s a breakdown of what everything actually is:
human bone - bone marrow with filipino sea salt
tree branch - pizza dough
rotting flesh - beef heart tartar
larvae - black sesame bread
rocks - squid ink flat bread
dirt - dehydrated olives, mushrooms, and grapenuts
TRICK OR TREAT? MYSTERY PUSH POP
roasted chicken ice cream - cauliflower gratin ice cream - apple pie ice cream
This was our fun little intermezzo. The push pop is inconspicuously layered with different flavored ice creams that have all been dyed pink so that each flavor remains indiscernible to the eye. We didn’t tell our guests what they were having. They had to guess.
eyeballs in blood stew
The eyeballs were made from lychee and tapioca. Jenna nestled the lychee fruit in sphere molds, stuffed them with tapioca balls, and then set them with a lychee gel. Shards of dry ice were broken into the bowl and then a sweet beet soup was poured over the top table side, creating a bubbly smoke effect.
