Presentation Room Take One

After just finishing our last phase in the restaurant, we decided the other day to go to the Presentation Room at L'Ecole Culinaire to support our fellow students. We arrived on Day One of service with 1 hour for lunch. From a timing perspective it was not a good decision, we ended up being about 15 mins late back to class.  Our Chef Instructor was very understanding though as she ordered, ate, paid her bill, and ordered her dessert before we even had bread service. She smiled at us as she left the restaurant and then again when then classroom door was blocked by the podium.

Polenta with Sautéed Wild Mushrooms and Goat Cheese

Now with all of that said... the food was excellent! The flavors spot on, the presentation beautiful. I ordered the Polenta with Sautéed Wild Mushrooms and Goat Cheese Appetizer.  Also a grilled cheese sandwich served on sliced Brioche with Manchego, goat cheese, and fresh herbs served with a cup of roasted red pepper and tomato bisque soup.

P.S. Our Chef Instructor arrived 10 minutes after we arrived and still left ahead of us....
