Best Dishes 2008

• Lobster and beet salad, citrus, tarragon and pistachio- from Veil, Seattle

Notes: The soul of this dish is the pistachio cream sauce.  It is the conductor that brings all the flavors together into a symphony.  It also brings out the nuttiness in the wine.  The citrus makes the beet sweeter and the beet makes the lobster more savory...it is a teasing of the 5 senses in a complementary way.
