So Monday was an interesting day... I had plans to attend the Patron Tequilla Dinner at Louis Benton's for like a month and I had someone lined up to go with me, but they had to cancel and of course me being the procrastinator that I am I waited until Monday afternoon to try and find a date... so after calling a TON of females i was still dateless at 6:15pm... but I had 4 dates lined up for the week... and then Nina called me back and I was like so... "ummm... how spontaneous are you? You have like 45 minutes to get ready and then get to Louis Benton's." She was up for it so my life was saved!
Okay, now on to the dinner! Chef Joesph sent me a menu for the dinner like a month ago and I thought it sounded like it would be absolutely amazing, 6 courses paired with Patron for $30 ummm... are you really kidding me right now? haha... Here is the menu...
Starter
"Red Mist"
Seared Tuna Salad with Mango-ginger-lime Mojo & a
Sparkling Citronge cocktail
1st Course
Duo of Oyster Ceviche, Smoked Jalapeno-Tomato Salsa & Shitake Mushroom Mojo with a Chilled Patron Silver Chaser
2nd Course
Sugarcane Skewered Costa Rican Coffee Glazed Pork-Pops with Chilled Patron Reposado
3rd Course
Watermelon Margarita Sorbet
A combination of Patron Silver & Citronge complete this intermezzo
4th Course
Grilled Filet of Sirloin with a Horseradish-Citronge Mojo & Grilled Onion Rings
Chilled Patron Citronge
5th Course
Patron Café Sundae
Chocolate Ice Cream Topped with Patron Café, Chocolate Sauce, Agave Mint Foam and Cinnamon Tortilla Sticks
Everything was absolutely amazing and it very cool to learn about Patron Tequila and new Patron line of orange and coffee liqours from the Patron rep and be able to taste all of the delicacies prepared by Chef Joesph. Louis Benton's is planning on having a different liqour dinner the 3rd Monday of every month and I highly recomend that you attend the next one. Be sure to sign up for my mailing list so I can remind you of the next dinner.
Ciao,
