Atrio: Amuse: Avocado Mousse on Plaintain Ring W/ Churassco Salsa & Chimichurri Sauce

This definetly was my favorite to create. Avocado mousse was so light an airy with spicy chopped steak on a fried plaintain ring finished off with lime-ny Chimichurri Sauce (The sauce created by wonderful Chef Micheal Gilligan).

Atrio: Amuse: Yellow Gazpacho W/ Avocado & Cucumber Cream

Eye appealing double layer soup. Simple and refreshing. The gazpacho provided the acid and the cream gave it all a balance. Something great for a hot day.

Atrio: Amuse: Seabass Nigiri W/ Candied Chili Apricot Candy & Blackberry Soy Sauce

Now this was an awesome mix. Takin' the delicate seabass and pairing it with a fruity component...gave it a great twist of fruity satisfaction.

Salmon Ceviche dressing in a white garlicy ceviche juice.

Topped with a combination of Ice Wine Gelee cubes, diced mango, bell perpper and scallions and served with a spicy Chipotle Crustini.

Cheese lovers you can step out now... something new has come along...I took a mix of crushed toasted cashews, diced brie cheese, roasted diced ham & diced dry fig...mix it all together to make a wonderful melting brie mix.

Chef Micheal made a wonderful Blackberry Balsamic Reduction with crushed blackberries and Balsamic Vinegar.

Garnished with chiffonade parsley and fine shaved manchego cheese.

Cheesy delight spiked up with a sharp Balsamic syrup...excellent.

This dish would satisfy both of your creative sides....visually and in your mouth....

The flavors just go so great together....served with little caviar pearls in the sauce and a eye appealing potato trio of sweet potato, yukon and purple peruvian potatoes.

What is that stickin' up there? Sweet sugar can stick.

MMmmmmm....goood.

Atrio: Tandoori Hake w/ Indian Onion Bhaji

This was incredible....The fish is called Hake...you can say it's almost like Cod Fish. The Onion Bhaji is what you see on top of the fish, this was delicious filled with indian inspired spices, it's basically better than the American Onion Ring...to a certain extent, i'm still an American Patriot :) The spicy meal is balanced with a cooling cucumber raita, jasmine rice pyramid and a soothing refreashing drink of Yellow Gazpacho. If you only knew how simple it is to make this delicous soup :)
