experiment #34 - DB Cobaya Moderne with Chef Matthieu Godard

Cobaya Experiment #34 brought forty guinea pigs to DB Bistro Moderne this past Tuesday to see what Chef Matthieu Godard and crew are cooking at this Miami outpost of the Daniel Boulud empire. You can see pictures above or in this "DB Cobaya Moderne" flickr set; a recap will follow shortly and read a recap at Food For Thought. Here is the menu they put together for us:

This was surely one of the most elegant Cobaya events we've ever had. Many thanks to Chef Godard, Pastry Chef Jerome Maure, and all the crew in the kitchen and front of house at DB for hosting one of our events; and most of all, to all of the guinea pigs whose interest and support makes these experiments possible.
