Restaurant: Vetri | Philadelphia
At Vetri, the Chef’s approach is summed up perfectly by a quote that lines the bottom of each menu page like a quiet but commanding mantra: “The more simple the preparation appears, the more attention to detail is needed, as the margins of error increase.” The words are attributed to Fulvio Pierangelini, but the sentiment is pure Marc Vetri.Veal Martini
Restaurant: The Palm - Las Vegas | Las Vegas
The Palm Las Vegas Executive Chef Kiko Ojeda prides himself on the "Veal Martini," which combines a succulent fusion of flavors resulting in a unique veal dish. When we think "martini" we think of the glass or a James Bond reference. This dish is elegantly laid out on the plate with the thinly pounded veal on the bottom and the ragu of vegetables and marsala wine sauce drizzled on top.Banana Curry
Restaurant: Bombay | San Diego
A uncommon take on a Indian traditional dish, Banana Curry takes the classic curry ingredients mixed with sweet notes from the banana. Curry is used in variety of Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Sri Lankan, Thai, and other Southeast Asian dishes. The common features of a curry medley are a incorporation of complex combinations of spices/herbs that include fresh or dried hot chilies. The mixture of curry spice with the sweetness of the banana will balance out the piquancy and spices.Chicken Biriyani
