Here is some of the delicious food being served at Carlyle. Clockwise from top-left: Black Cod with Suedoise sauce, roasted beets, and apple frisee salad. Confit Octopus with Breton Vegetables, broth of hamhock, manila clams and thyme. Yellowfin Tuna with Fresh Corn Polenta, roasted Chanterelles, and Poached Duck Egg. Hamachi , with Dashi broth, bok choy, and crispy wonton. The Hamachi was prepared by Chef de Cuisine Patrick Shultz, and the other dishes by Sous Chef Jake Martin. These guys are fun to work with, and are creating some dynamite food. I hope this post will convince them to cook me up that foie dish.
Total Immersion Bacterial Success

I for one am sick of sickness. My immune system is in for a policy change. I believe the more foriegn bacteria I am exposed to, the more likely I’ll be able to deal with anything that rolls my way. Look at my dogs; they eat shit, lick each others asses, and delight in finding nasty dead animals to roll on. They are never sick. From now on I will go out of my way to drink from random water fountains, eat undercooked or raw meat, share drinks with people, pet strange dogs, jump in front of sneezes, high-five bums, and eat at least one thing off the floor daily. The food catch in the dish pit will be my buffet. My plan is have a catalogue of random bacteria so complete, that my system is never suprised by a new one. YOU WANNA LIVE FOREVER!!!
