Look for tray pass and platters at the bar kitchen and pool table. So many wizards in the kitchen!
Smoked Sculpin Tzatziki. So fresh and clean!
Triple Cream and Truffles. Insane portions of truffles. INSANE.
Shrimp Cocktail. Bubbly cloud is "salted lemonade air" resting on cubed shrimp and pierced with a plastic dropper filled with clear cocktail sauce. Pick up shrimp by the dropper, insert the shrimp and foam into mouth, squeeze the dropper. Your mouth will fill up with cocktail liquid and flavors. Weird, cool, progressive, etc. Think deconstructed gastro Mr. Chow water dumpling!
Shark Corndogs. What? Corndogs? It totally works.
Beef Tenderloin Tobacco Cream. So awesome I can't even stand it.
Gnocchi Shrimp.
Snow Sugar RULES!
Snake Oil Cocktail Company. Shakin', squeezin', mixin'...fresh, fresh, fresh and fabulous...
Kumiai Oyster Shooter & Nitro. Complete out-of-body experience. Explosive flavors. What happened to the dragon pics of smoke fuming from my nostrils?! Sexiest shot you'll EVER take.
Fois. Nuff said.
Peanut Butter Chocolate Creameaux. Seriously...?!
French Toast. Black pepper lavender foam, caramel, fresh berries, candied pecans...
Crema Shooters & Cotton Candy Pop Rocks. Delayed in-mouth popping is just so freakin' cool.
Happy Birthday Dessert gastro performance by Chef Daniel Barron. He's whipping up fresh ice-cream for Mimi Kim Griswold! Omg!
