Perfect Pairings
Bombay Sapphire is holding a contest where you create "perfect pairings" of cocktails and cuisine. What fun that would be to compete in! Or even to watch / taste the action. I think I would win with my master menu:
oysters on the half shell with a dollop of horseradish, garnish of Osetra and spritzed with jalapeno vodka
paired with a cocktail of iced vodka with lemon zest w/ a fresh ground black pepper and honey rim.
peeled grape, cilantro, and purple onion salad with a fresh lime vinagrette
paired with a sparkling champagne with a float of blackberry brandy whipped cream
main course of garlic oil rubbed steak tartar tenderly cupping a delicate portion of buttery fois gras accented with fennel and sided by crisp sauteed strips of pumpkin with whipped cinnamon honey butter
paired with a nice Chilean cabernet
desert would consist of a warm pear puree with nested "eggs" of vanilla ice cream with butterscotch shavings
paired with a buttery Chardonnay
and then for the Grand Finale

Those sound amazing!
Will you design a meal/non-alcoholic beverage for me?
Here's what I'm thinking: (Though I'm aware my tastes aren't nearly as sophisticated!)
Marinated top sirloin medallions that you cook on a hot rock (Stole this from Stack at the Mirage) with a side of horesradish mashed potatoes. Served with a club soda on ice with lime.
SOB! My new favorite word.
I like the hot sex part. Can I get seconds of that???
