Fantastic Firsts, Chef Ernesto Iaccarino, Don Alfonso 1890 (Na)

The phrase "Chef, fai tu" is one that has become common for me when I go out.  Chef, fai tu - loosely translated as Chef, you decide, guarantees me, the diner, to a meal full of twists, turns, and surprises...

Like this new first course that Chef Ernesto Iaccarino shared with me one Saturday stellato at Don Alfonso 1890.

Rice with scampi and caviar.  The real surprise was the fresh macedonia salad underneath.  I was told to grab all the elements with my spoon to get the full impact.

I did.

Fantastic.
