“A modern French-American bistro where the traditions of French cuisine meet the flavors of the American market with a menu reflecting the changing seasons and a focus on the simplicity of fine ingredients. db is Daniel Boulud’s interpretation of the new generation of Parisian bistros whose classically trained chefs offer creative cuisine in a casual, comfortable and contemporary setting. His New York rendition combines the youthful energy of his adopted city with the Gallic flair of the country he left behind.”

At Yankee Stadium, they are serving this surprisingly great Premio Sweet Italian Sausage with Peppers & Onions. What makes it great? Everything in balance. The sausage has the right amount of fennel, the red bell peppers and onions cooked perfecly in the right proportions, and it is on the right bread, crusty and just chewy enough. Dahlicious!

From the “Tasting of Vegetables” menu at per se.

We grilled this fresh Sea Bass from Mexican waters then served it with a browned butter sauce made with lemon juice, capers, white wine, crème fraîche, and parsley.

At the Cal Poly Farmstead Cheesemaker Course last fall, we learned from Sadie Kendall, how crème fraîche helps to stabilize and add a luxurious texture and flavor to sauces. Thanks Sadie!
