This evening a customer (unknown to me, please identify yourself) sent this dish back to the kitchen with the message, "For the blog." This is clearly the detritus from a couple of Hawaiian Blue Prawns that we served with Hebi (Shortbill Spearfish) and Seaweed, Edamame, and Pickled Ginger Salad.I've named these guys Fred and George after the Weasley twins. Clearly something has clearly gone wrong with one of their pranks—their midsections are missing.

As Hogwart's new Professors of Culinary Arts entered the kitchen, a puzzled hush fell over the class.

ReplyDeleteI am the lucky person that had the pleasure of eating at OBW and had the Hebi with Blue Prawns....and yes, the artistic prawn dish.

....I call this piece "prawn's struggle in the pelagic world"......
kinda like Adam on mythbusters when describing one of his contraptions..
Ed, the meal was fantastic, (the foie gras was the best I have ever had! the service impeccable), we are looking forward to our chef's table on Sat!

ReplyDeleteI couldn't pick a winner, so I did a random drawing. Randomly, I picked "Just ignore it you said. It will go away you said." If the author will get in touch with me...
