Dinner Theater

You know what most dishes are missing? Presentation! Our friends had us over for dinner last weekend and impressed us with a multi-flavor masterpiece presented as beautifully as if we were dining in their restaurant. (Yes, they own a restaurant) My favorite part of the meal were the crispy fried shallots sprinkled on top. Great idea and it turned the down-home American dish into a work of art.
Sliced, marinated steak topped garlic mashed potatoes and fresh creamed corn. I'm looking forward to attempting the cream corn with chopped red onion and parsley. Crimini and shitake mushrooms added some texture to the plate: mushy potatoes, crunchy corn, chewy mushrooms, tender steak and crunchy shallots. Texture-tastic!
