Yaargh mateys, 'tis time for some roomservice fit for a pirate. My boss and I decided against walking around in gale force winds to find a restaurant, and I knew no one in their right mind would seat me in the hotel restaurant, so I ordered room service and watched Good Eats instead. I was surprised.
This is justification after someone (British no less) made fun of my canapes last night...
I don't eat meat, it has been a year since I've had even chicken. I decided not to tempt fate too much and just ordered (safety) chicken, I wasn't disappointed.
The executive chef here, Justin Leboe is a rookie, starting roughly last May or so. Here is a good writeup of some of the interesting first Trial by Fire when the only power plant on the island was "temporarily offline" (read huge explosion that made our hosting provider run off generators for several weeks after).
Evidently, he's a capable triathlete(team stats, 12th place, he's the fast one) as well, which seems incongruous with the "image" of a chef. (Flay's Boobies, Bourdain's self-poisoning, Todd English's barely contained psychopathy, that thing).
Anyway, I'll start it off:
Pan fried chicken, creamy polenta, mushrooms, fava beans, endives and an asparagus tip or two.
