Celebrating our first (official) LudoBites dinner and our anniversary, J and I headed to Gram & Papa's for LudoBites 4.0's opening night. In addition to the Tartine Plate, Brie Chantilly Napoleon, Egg and Potato Mousseline with Lobster and the Poached Jidori Chicken from the menu last night, we sampled a couple of new dishes.
As a second entree, J and I ordered the Steak Au Poivre with Polenta Bone Marrow and White Asparagus. I rarely order steak and will probably order it even less after this...because it will nearly impossible for any dish to compare with this juicy, tender meat that practically melted in my mouth. The white asparagus contributed a lovely crunch and a subtle sweetness to the dish. "Delicious" does not even begin to describe Chef Ludo's steak au poivre.
For dessert, we ordered the Raspberry Religieuse with Pistachio Parfait. With creamy raspberry filling inside the puff pastry, this was akin to a raspberry profiterole. What a delight to look at and eat.
Although J is still bitter that I enjoyed LudoBites two nights in a row, he was thrilled to finally sample a Chef Ludo dinner for himself. He was all smiles all night!
I may have visited Chef Ludo and Krissy two nights in a row, but, sadly, I have no more reservations. I'd love, however, to sneak in somehow towards the end of LudoBites 4.0's run to see how the menu has evolved... Anyone wanna take me? :)

ReplyDeleteHoly cannoli, Ludo 2 nights in a row? You are a rockstar! So cool Ludo recreated Laduree's Religieuse—did you know he has a pic of the original on his iPhone? I kid you not.
