The students have done it again.  Each night i anticipate the buzz that goes on in Elevation restaurant.  Each night starts with the nervous energy of students jumping into something new.  By the last order we all wish we could keep going.  Everybody learns the flow and is in the groove.  Tasting products as they are made to order i am consistently amazed by how much flavor we are packing into each dish.  The lamb with its herbed dry rub is ridiculously juicy,  the basil and sweet potato farce is elevated by the sous vide method.  The dish though that blows my mind is the Pasta Lagane.  The saying, “The whole is more than the sum of its parts,” rings so true with this dish.  House made pasta, sun chokes, patty pan squash, lemon basil and oh so ripe tomato.  Each piece sounds humble but together at their peak ripeness the sing.  Not your ordinary song but a Radiohead song that builds and builds until it gives you shivers.  Yeah its just pasta but oh its so much more.

Eat well and learn, always…
