It was skate wing, served over a fabulous cole slaw, with capers and very thin potato chips on top. The cole slaw was made of cabbage and carrots cut uniformly into rice-size pieces, and dressed with a minimum of liquid so that there was no extra around the edges. It held together like sushi rice. The capers were braised briefly in malt vinegar before being plated around and over the skate wing. The skate wing itself was firm, but perfectly cooked throughout; like grouper but less fatty. And then to top it off, 6 or 7 mini potato chips decorated the top of the dish, which added crunch and picked up the malt vinegar notes from the capers to make it a sophisticated play on fish and chips. Fabulous!Lounoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7700721558717637465.post-73492628796261503452012-02-22T11:41:08.873-05:002012-02-22T11:41:08.873-05:00Hi Erin,

I started a cool project last year called Indianapolis Dining Cards. It's still in its building stages with a lot of room to grow, but it will give you some cool options next time you eat. Check out www.indianapolisdiningcards.com. If you want some samples let me know, cwilson@thesynergrygroup.com.<br /><br />-ChrisC.Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03800650015583525066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7700721558717637465.post-33404578838663931522012-02-21T18:10:40.197-05:002012-02-21T18:10:40.197-05:00Just a quick update to mention that Greg Hardesty,...Just a quick update to mention that Greg Hardesty, chef and owner of Room 4 and Recess has been nominated for a 2012 James Beard Foundation "best chef in the Great Lakes region."

You can tell they are serious about these by the custom-made wooden boards (wrapped in disposable film) fitted with precisely-placed wooden pegs to hold them at the perfect spacing.Lounoreply@blogger.com
