Anniversary Dinner

Second time I've been to Boundary, and it was even better than the first time. Just a fantastic meal! Started with oysters: english rocks, french rocks, english natives. All fine, but the english natives were winners by knockout. Then sauteed foie gras, lovingly seared in butter and served with some poached rhubarb, with just enough sweetness and sharpness to offset the rich, silky indulgence of the perfectly cooked liver. My mains was trotter, sweetbreads, and morels -- pig's foot magically slow-cooked to leave everything fork-tender but still full of rich porky flavor, stuffed with sweetbreads and complimented by morels in a reduction sauce. Dessert was St. Emilion au Chocolat, which was like the richer, denser, tastier, smarter, over-achieving cousin of a dark chocolate mousse. They even got the espresso right. Heartily recommended.
