Prelog's European Kitchen, in Austin TX
At the end of a stressful week, Kat and I ducked out for a fancy culinary trip to Europe via Prelog's Kitchen.
We had a great table with a clear view of the kitchen. They gave us an Amuse, Cucumber soup with a Goat Cheese Foam.
(I'm going from memory here, I'm fairly sure I have all posted details correct)
Seared Scallop with Scallop Sashimi
Beef Tartare (and nearly a dozen little bits of special edible accessories)
Cured Char
Each dish had many different components making each bite different, but delicious.
This was one of the best meals we've ever had. It was as delicious as it was beautiful. The staff was very friendly and generous. We can't wait to return. (Yes, they have a HH, they call it Blue Hours. Tuesday to Saturday: 4:30 pm - 6:30 pm).
How do they get those plates to come out with such attention to detail? It was not uncommon to see as many as four different Chef come by and contribute to one plate using an assortment of tweezers, squeeze bottles and varied tools of precision. A lovely ballet ensues, so full of form and color.
Kat had the five course tasting while I ordered two small plates a la carte. This resulted in a sampling of six savory dishes and one delicious dessert that included white chocolate mousse, peaches and mezcal jelly.
Thanks to my beautiful wife for joining me on this culinary trip to Modern Europe through the Kitchen of Prelog.
