Foodbuzz Community Table 9.16.09 - Epic Roasthouse

Work and other commitments have kept me busy, but here are my very belated photos from last month's Foodbuzz Community Table at Epic Roasthouse in San Francisco, sponsored by Visa Signature. Thanks to Foodbuzz and Visa Signature for a fantastic meal!

One of the best things about Epic -- the view

Our private table

Yup, all that wine was for us!

Amuse bouche | Smoky ham hock in butter bean soup

First course | Organic iceberg salad - shaved radish, rustic garlic,
creamy gorgonzola cheese croutons

A very refreshing first course!

Entree | Wood fired rotisserie pork rack chop - asparagus flan,
roasted chanterelle mushrooms, smoky gingered ham hock sauce

The pork chop was cooked well, but could have used more flavor. But the asparagus flan was wonderful -- light and creamy with a hint of nutty asparagus flavor. Definitely my favorite part of the meal!

Duo of desserts | Crunchy bread pudding with fresh ricotta and peaches,
and chocolate banana cake with caramel sea salt ice cream

I wasn't impressed by the bread pudding, but I loved the chocolate banana cake. The saltiness of the ice cream was a great contrast to the chocolatey sweetness.
