Tuesday evening, I had the amazing opportunity of being part of XMarx’s Cold Weather Vegetarian dinner. I can’t even begin to tell you how awesome it was. On the menu:
- Goat-Gouda stuffed sweet peppers with citrus mojo.
- Creamy cauliflower soup. Chestnuts, pear, sage.
- Citrus and sprout salad. Pomelo, orange, starfruit. Radish sprout, p-shoot, lotus.
- Moroccan eggplant “pulled pork” sammy. Pickled H20melon, Jicama. Tempura bok choy tips.
- Cannelloni of kabocha squash, oyster/shitake mushroom, spinach-ricotta. Mushroom/baby heirloom tomato brown butter.
- Peanut butter semifreddo sandwich with coconut-fruity pebbles soy milk.
Ok, so the food was even more delicious than it sounds. You never know what you’re going to eat until its put in front of you, or where/what time the event will take place until the day of. It was like a super exciting, mystery dinner. There were a total of 12 seats, and our group made up half of that. We snuck in a chance to chat with the chefs and founders. Their passion was really admirable, and inspiring. These dudes seriously need a James Beard nomination.
One of the chefs, John Bowers, has a fantatastic food blog. Check it out:
