What Should I Order?
Hi Chickadees: I have two business lunches out next week and want to decide what to order NOW so I don't snarf down the Lobster Thermidor! I narrowed it down, help me pick!
LUNCH #1 -- this is at a very minimalist seaside hotel restaurant with small portions; the croutons would likely be 2 or 3
Bison Carpaccio (raw buffalo meat) - mustard seared, pickled shallots, celery root confit, peppercress, extra virgin
OR
Vū Salad
romaine, bok choy, wasabi greens, citrus marinated fennel, orange, spiced nuts, dried blueberries, grilled corn, corn bread croutons
Maybe ask to drizzle my own oil on the bison, or leave off the croutons and get dressing on the side?
LUNCH #2 -- seafood place in Dana Point, CA
Hawaiian Ahi Poke (raw fish) OR White Seabass Ceviche (raw fish) with avocado AND chilled gazpacho (veggie) soup OR side salad
OR
Shellfish (crab, prawn or bay shrimp) cocktail AND gazpacho OR salad
I'm thinking both the poke and ceviche may have vinaigrette of unknown oil content, so the shellfish cocktail might be more calorie-countable
