Flourless chocolate cake & chocolate orange cheesecake
Brett and Rachel had a client who is a chef, and tonight he paid his bill with a dinner. Eleven of us gathered at Rachel's around 730pm. We started with a glass of prosecco and then enjoyed:
-Smoked lobster cake with a chipotle mayo and pickled jalepeno/onion/tomato salad.
-Chilean sea bass in a lobster cream sauce with asparagus truffle risotto.
-Snapper with a tomato gastrique and a tomato pineapple relish.
-Beef tenderloin (with a sauce I can't remember at the moment) and wild mushroom mashed potatoes.
-Rack of lamb in a goat cheese demi glace and roasted potatoes with roasted garlic and sauteed green onion.
-Flourless chocolate cake with liquored cherries and chocolate orange cheesecake.
There were wine pairings with each course and lots of laughter, and every single thing that was set in front of me was delicious. My ass is kicked, but in the best possible way.

Food sounds scrumpaliscious Dave. I've had that flourless chocolate cake, it is deadly.
But damn buddy, seeing the title of this post I came over here hoping for a picture . . . .

Better than getting doctor bills paid for with a chicken! All sounds yummy. Hell of a birthday dinner.
I'm with Russ - that post title had me thinking something altogether different.
