A Must-have



Besides the wonderful food and romantic ambiance these utensil holders made my night even more of a dream come true! Does anyone know where to find these? I've only found bamboo ones. 

I have to have these for future at-home romantic meals and entertaining!

And for those of you who are also devout fans of Gordon Ramsey and/or gourmet food. 
Here is what we ordered at Maze.

Me
-Marinated beetroot, ricotta, pine nut and Cabernet Sauvignon dressing*
-Carnaroli risotto of Maine lobster, English peas and preserved Meyer lemon*
-Steamed halibut with sauteed morels, chicken livers and Cabernet Sauvignon vinegar
-Pan fried branzino, tomato and olive fondue, baby artichokes and anchovy butter

My Hubby
-Heirloom tomato salad, Burrata mozzarella, basil pesto and watercress*
-Hand dived sea scallops roasted with spices, golden raisin puree and cauliflower beignets*
-Honey and soy roasted quail, with sauteed foie gras and spiced pear chutney
-Fillet of Brandt beef, morels with braised short rib, glazed asparagus*

...and for dessert

Me- Valrhona chocolate fondant with green cardamom caramel, sea salt and almond ice cream
My Hubby - Apple and caramel trifle with cider granite and cinnamon doughnut

Unless it is a clear utensil holder, you really can't see it unless you blow that pix up! Kinda interesting???

Yeah, sorry, it is kind of hard to see.

It is silver. But I didn't resize the pix so if you click on it you should be able to see it.

it's fun. not an everyday sort of thing but i really liked it!
