Like the Masters, the Chevron LPGA tournament held a champions dinner this week in Houston. Defending champ Nelly Korda along with Thomas Keller (one of top ten U.S. chefs, from French Laundry in Napa Valley) came up with following menu:
Caviar & tuna tartare with cucumbers, green apple, dill
Czech-inspired cream of mushroom soup, onions, garden peas
Herb-roasted filet of American wagyu beef with sauce “goulash”
Greek “deli” salad
Sacramento Delta white asparagus
Garnet yam gratin
Glazed mushrooms
“Ovocne Knedliky”: spring berry dumplings, toasted poppy seed, Tahitian vanilla “anglaise”
Kudos to Nelly for working with a great chef rather than the head of takeout for Applebee’s, which looks like the caterer of choice for the Masters meal two weeks ago.
Hopefully Rory will raise the bar next April!!
