Why “M” Was Sweet

Joe’s brother and his wife

are a very charitable couple.

They feed their family

and friends very well :)

Recently …

they invited us to join them

at “M” a downtown Columbus restaurant

They bid on this private wine tasting/

food pairing meal at a fundraiser

Here’s the sweet meal we shared…

Perfectly pan seared diver sea scallops

on a bed of ginger-soy infused

soba noodles

Paired with a Sauvignon Blanc.

Whoa, it was good!

NOTE:The presentation of this salad

did not look like this when it was first served.

(I forgot to take a picture and I ate mine:)

Therefore, this is a makeshift model

Actually. the heirloom tomato, watermelon

salad was surrounded by a potato chip wall.

Very clever. It was topped with

HUMBOLDT FOG GOAT CHEESE

which is unbelievably good!

(worth looking for at the grocers)

Paired with a Spanish Verdejo

Sorbet

It was very fruity and refreshing.

On the hottest day of summer…

it was extremely enjoyable and COLD.

DRUM ROLL please…..

Duet of Filet Mignon and Chilean Sea Bass

Chanterelle Mushroom crusted with Bordelaise

and Champagne Truffle Vin Blanc

were the highlight.

Both just melted in your mouth.

Paired with a Charles Krug, Cabernet Sauvignon.

The friends went nuts over that cab!

Some loved it A LOT :)

Our sweet ending was

a trio of chocolate and orange.

An orange Bavarian Bonbon,

orange chiffon cake

and an orange chocolate tart.

Too die for!!

Paired with sparkling Taittinger.

Thank you, Brad and Murph

and Columbus crew…WAIT… that’s your soccer team!

and “FRIENDS”. It was such fun!

Keep supporting those charities

xoxo :)
