Last Night's Dinner: Lobster Shepherd's Pie at Julian
Posted on Wednesday, January 27th, 2010 | 0 Comments
We decided to go all the way yesterday and make it our very own "day of James Beard Award winning chefs" -- we'd swung by Michael Smith for lunch and, the moment we felt vaguely hungry again, headed to Julian for dinner.
Aside from our martini selection, there were no particularly difficult decisions to be made. Chef Celina Tio chose a starter and an entree for us, and we were happy to take what was offered up as yesterday evening's Restaurant Week menu specials: a Roasted Cauliflower Soup to start, followed by a Lobster "Shepherd's Pie" that we'd been hearing about for weeks.
The soup was thick, rich, and creamy -- perfect on a cold winter night.
The Lobster "Shepherd's Pie" (the quotation marks are important, as it was not quite your traditional Shepherd's Pie) was bowl of housemade mashed potatoes topped with carrots and fairly sizeable lobster tail.
We saved plenty of tummy space for dessert (any dessert on the menu was fair game) and chose the Bread Pudding with sweet creme fraiche and that Chocolate Puddin' we've been thinking about since the kickoff party. Both desserts weren't too big for us to tackle -- and we left with full bellies and perfectly-satisfied sweet tooths.
Julian's Restaurant Week menu changes throughout the week, so be sure to keep up with the @JulianKC Twitter for updates.
