Yesterday I took my sister to lunch at Oregon Culinary Institute for her birthday, which is July 23
I bought her a small box of Moonstruck truffles
http://www.moonstruckchocolate.com/
and a nice card to accompany it, but
the pièce de résistance was lunch at OCI
For those who may have forgotten, they serve four courses for $12:
In the event the price is a bit of a shock to you, the staff are all students.
The selections were as follows:
- Starter -
Smoked Tomato and Bacon Bisque
Corn and Okra Fritter - Spicy Aioli
-Salad-
Hearts of Romaine Salad - Cerignolla Olives, Shaved Parsesan, Crispy Prosciutto and Shaved Croutons
