15th Anniversary Celebration Menu- ‘A Taste of La Toque Signature Dishes’ Menu
Prime New York Strip Loin with Fiscalini Cheddar Pearl Tapioca and Rutherford Red Wine Sauce
A Note From Chef Ken Frank
This dish was born of my desire to develop a signature dish that would nail pairing with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, which for us represents the home team. It’s based on the flavors of Mac n’ Cheese but with really good Fiscalini Bandage Wrapped Cheddar. The tapioca surprises people that only know of it from their grandmother’s dessert pudding.
Rosti Potato – Crème Fraiche, Half Ounce Regiis Ova Ossetra Caviar, Chive
A Note From Chef Ken Frank
This dish traces its origin back to 1980 at the original La Toque on Sunset Boulevard, inspired by the potatoes my French girlfriend’s Mom would make us for lunch nearly every Saturday. It’s simply my favorite way to eat caviar. When I find a better recipe we’ll change, but this will be hard to beat. Hot crispy potato on the outside, tender on the inside, cool crème fraiche, a generous spoonful of caviar on top, I never tire of these. I remember when we charged $20 for one of these topped with real wild Caspian Beluga!

Seared Foie Gras, Nasturtium, Radish, Duck-Dashi Consommé
A Note From Chef Ken Frank
Foie Gras will forever be on my short list of the best foods ever. I really look forward to getting past the lawyering and putting it back where it belongs on the menu.
