Theme for tonight's BYOB dinner at the Factory, www.TheFactoryLB.com, was Zinfandel. Since they redeemed themselves with last months dinner 9 of us decided we would try again. All the Zins on the table were good. Ridge, Seghesio, Chateau Margene, Turley Rattlesnake. I tried to remember them all but it got lost in my brain the last few days.
First course was a Roasted sweet potato soup - good flavor.
Salad was Warm Wild Mushrooms with Dandelion Herbs and Roasted Hazelnuts. Surprisingly it was very good.
Next was a Pomegranate Glazed Grilled Duck Breast with Creme Fraiche, roasted grapes and potato bacon gratin. Everything goes good with bacon. Duck was good.
Dessert was a Pumpkin Cake with Pecan Strusel and Maple Ice Cream. A nice end to a meal.
These dinners are only $25 and you bring your own wine. It is a lot of fun and reasonable. The portions are not big but for $25 I think you get your moneys worth.
They are talking about having a dinner in December but it would be so close to Christmas that I doubt that I will be able to attend.
