DEADLIEST CATCH TARTARES AND CEVICHES 
King crab and fresh vegetable 

DEEP FRIED “CHICORY”, PORK AND CHEESE 
Iberico ham, St. Andre, hazelnut and egg yolk 

DOUBLE STUFFED QUAIL 
Duck, foie gras and “cherry” 

INDIVIDUAL POT PIE 
Lamb and winter vegetable 

SOFT CHOCOLATE 
Espresso, meringue and oats 

ob:  I google'd "soft chocolate"  I came up empty handed, however the menu pairings are creative--this dinner should be delicious--especially intrigued by the topping and combinations of flavors & textures of the dessert. I would live to see photos, so tweet me @chocolatestout and let me know how this dinner & pairings go, and what the Sam Hill Soft Chocolate is!   If it were cheese, I'd select pairing Chocolate Stout with local farmstead Pure Luck Farm & Dairy's Hopelessly Blue, Del Cielo or  Sainte Maure. 

Cheers!
