Recapping: American Blackboard preview dinner at Philly Kitchen Share

The team showcased a number of killer dishes, many of which were representative of AB's theme - "lost" cooking, curing and preserving techniques, and other approaches that might be considered archaic by today's culinary standards. (The Blackboard name was chosen since the menu will be ever-rotating to reflect availability and the season.) The multi-course feast featured produce grown by West Philly's Mill Creek Farm, for which the dinner was a fundraiser. What we ate, in order: - Charcuterie board, all house-cured: duck prosciutto, tasso ham, country pate and pheasant rillettes - Long Island oysters topped with condiments like apple granita and kelp mignonette - Carrots roasted in hay, with cilantro/black walnut pesto, pecorino and nasturtium leaves - Chorizo oil-poached local striped bass with rainbow chard, clams, chorizo, crispy skin, persillade - Pear crisp with ginger ice cream jamie Posted 2010-10-28 16:13:13

Everything was delicious but that Striped bass was amazing, I could have easily eaten 2 plates of it.

Let us poach all fish in chorizo oil.  WHY NOT.  I can't wait until this place opens!  (gleefully rubbing greedy paws together)
