Another experiment completed! For Experiment #64, we were back at the Faena Miami Beach - but this time with legendary Argentinian chef Francis Mallman at his restaurant Los Fuegos. You can read a full recap of the dinner at Food For Thought, and see pictures in this Cobaya Fuego with Francis Mallman flickr set or check some of the most recent pictures on Chowfather's instagram feed. Here's the menu:
Grilled Sweetbreads with Red Pepper Purée and Pickled Onions
Scallop Crudo in Bitter Endive
Parsnip Soup with Lobster and Bread Crumbs
Grilled Giant Prawns with Burnt Lemon
Parrillada of Banana Leaf Wrapped Grouper, Lechon, and Lamb Leg
Tomato and Bread Salad, Roasted Potatoes with Purple Onions, Quinoa Salad
7-Hour Grilled Pineapple with Strawberries and Mascarpone Cream
A big thank you to Chef Mallman, Chef Vitor Perim, and the entire crew at Los Fuegos, including Faena wine director Zach Gossard, who is becoming a real Cobaya veteran at this point; and as always most of all, to the guinea pigs whose interest and support make these kind of events possible.
