If I think hard enough I can still taste it....mmmmm. I had the tuna sashimi dish as well when I went to JG and, tww years later, it remains one of the TOP food memories of all time.

I am so happy for you. or jealous, or happy, or jealous...I have only been to JG once and I had the foie dish you had. I remember liking it but the richness made me sick after a few bites so I had to pass the rest to my eager boyfriend. My one observation about the desserts there is that they dont taste as good as they look. The flavor combination and presentation is intriguing but the taste is disappointing. Except for the signature molten chocolate cake, which was divine. I think we had the citrus and chocolate dessert. What an exciting experience Tina.

And that is super cool that you got to hang out with those chefs and gage their reactions to Jean Geroges food. That looks like an exquisit meal!

Can I tell you how much I appreciate Jean George Vonrichten for elevating chinese cuisine to haute cusine in America? Americans have so little appreciation for China's culinary history (arguably one of the greatest in the world, althoug I'm obviously biased), and think chinese food is about *beef and brocolli* or god forbi crab rangoon. While J. G. V isn't exactly all about the great traditiona dishes of China, at least he can get people interested enough to look beyond their local takeout joint. I kind of see that happening already, just not enough yet for me. okay, enough rambling, back to readin' :D OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
