Sin on a plate - Foodies, you ain't seen nothing yet!

The Course Faculty dinner tonight was a short walk from the hotel where we are staying. The temperature was blissfully pleasant after many HOT days. We walked through a local park to get to “Chakra” for our evening meal. (Rumor has it Madonna eats there when she is "in town") A superlative from some other realm needs to be used to describe the food that we shared tonight. It was beyond amazing. It was essentially a “best of the best” dishes that the restaurant has to offer. Plate after plate of dishes (we quit counting after 18!!) to share kept emerging from the kitchen (long after we should have been full) They ranged from vegetable and salads, risotos, meats and fishes and beautiful desserts, accompanied by fine Israeli wine. Savory, delicious and beautifully plated, each offering was a feast not only for the palate, but for the senses as well. Dr. Rapelyea (radiologist from GW in D.C) said about one course that “this should be called ‘Sin on a Plate’”, so we borrowed her phrase for tonight’s blog. Enjoy the pictures. TLL
Note from lcm: I have been to about 300 faculty dinners...all over the world, in some of the best restaurants. This, without a doubt, was the BEST restaurant meal I have ever, ever had. OMG!! OK, I promise, after this...no more food stories. Think we're obsessed?? ;o)))
