Have you ever had that conversation that goes:"hey lets go eat here tonight"
"no way thats to expensive"
"its cool, I got the hook-up"
Im sure all of you have at one point in time. Now, Im not talking about sending food out the back door, but I do love the oppurtunity to send special unexpected courses to our guests. It allows us to create more personal experiences with them, and hopefully......create loyalty. Its become a staple in most professional kitchens to have an amuse, or midcourse, or even a shared sweettreat at the end of a meal. For me, I really enjoy it because it allows us to step away from the menu and, for a brief moment, be unpredictable. Here is a midcourse I did this afternoon: Green Risotto, Shrimp with Bacon, Sundried Tomato, Fresh Mozz, Balsamic
your passion for food and desire to personalize experiences for guests is what stands you apart. people remember those unexpected courses and they are the ones who will continue to return to your restaurant.
