I attended last night's Rising Chefs awards dinner last night. Overall, it was really mediocre save for Mourad Lahlou's Moroccan-spiced carrot soup with blood orange foam (stunning!) and a handful of other dishes.

One of the other highlights was some thinly-sliced house-made pork sausage on crispy dark bread with pickled radishes that was served by Nate Applebaum of A16. As I went back to seconds on that particular dish, Chris Cosentino of Incanto was complimenting the sausage and asking, "Do you separate out your fat and meat? - No? You should. What is your fat to meat ratio?..."

I walked away with a smile on my face, biting into that great offering.
