>blue ribbon beef marrow + foie gras terrine>>

So, first and foremost I want to credit my latest blog entry to the best restaurant co-worker I've ever had the pleasure of working with and all-around great gal, "M.G.E."

Last night as we were chatting each other up from behind the open table she was telling me the story of how, when she was a student at CIA (Culinary Institute of America), she and her other classmates would drive down, late at night, from upstate New York to go to Blue Ribbon and have the Beef Marrow and Foie Gras Terrine. She said they would order the Beef Marrow and the Foie Gras, together, and spread them both on crostinis and eat them.

That's both the Beef Marrow and the Foie Gras--together, on single crostinis.

A heart attack waiting to happen.

I christen that, along with a glass of champagne, THE power lunch of 2010!
