Week One, Friday the 13th (cue spooky music)

We officially kicked off the first week of restaurant for the summer quarter. There are some major changes to the scene since we last did dinner service. The first change is there are about half the number of students as the last time I ran the show. At first I was a bit nervous going into the first night of service, but now that it's over I feel confident we are going to really show SLC some good food.
The second change is there is another commander co-starring in this production. Chef Trace Stephens is running the front of the house and it is amazing how his influence has shaped our restaurant so far! We are like a well-oiled machine and have hit the ground running~
Here is what we produced week one!

AMUSE: Blueberry Cheese Savory Lollipop with Lemon Thyme Infusion

COCKTAIL AMUSE: Carrot and Grapefruit Soda with Citrus Cube

SOUP: Chilled Avocado with Shrimp, Onion Jam and Roasted Tomato



SALAD: Arugula with Celery and Cucumber, Pickled Beet Dust and Challah Croutons

DESSERT: Avocado Gelato, Zucchini Cake, Candied Cucumber and Golden Raspberries
