As promised, here is the menu and photos of the special dinner made by chef Sean and sous chef Christopher, for Claire, Don, and me, at Cava in Bay Harbor, MI. You'll notice near the bottom of the menu, Sean also included a birthday greeting to Don. ;)


Our first course was sunkiss artichoke, confit of garlic, parsley-lemon aioli, parmesan


Second course was ceviche of diver scallop, blood orange, cucumber, cashews, radish, pea tendril, cucumber-yuzu vinaigrette


Claire's third course was ahi tuna, purple sticky rice, green wakame, wasabi, sweet soy


Don's and my third course was braised pork belly, mung bean noodle, sweet soy, mint, cilantro


Everyone's fourth course was spring carrot, arugula, almond sliver, golden raisin, almond-ver jus vinaigrette


Claire's fifth course was butterfish, baby bok choy, brocollini, mango-yuzu coulis


Don and my fifth course was eye of ribeye, asparagus, preserved lemon, french breakfast radish, "lamb's tounge" mache, crispy shiitake, ramp butter


And finally, our sixth course was "fuielles de brick" dark chocolate pillow, toasted coconut ice cream, strawberry powder


As you can imagine, it was as delicious as it was beautiful! We are VERY PROUD of our Sean. Don't you wish you had a chef in your family? ;)
