Oh my. Thomas Keller indeed. Oysters & Pears go avant-garde.
A pool of chervil juice, a dollop of oyster cream, a plump juicy litchi fruit, and pungent horseradish. But wait, let's top that with a serious serving (an ounce, per diner, perhaps?) of American sturgeon caviar.
OK, so the caviar has a slightly muddy taste to the palate of this Iranian-born girl. But it's briny, and slick, and the eggs pop just so. And who ever knew that litchi and caviar are not SUCH strange bedfellows after all?
