On March 5th the Upper West Side Supper Club 2011 competition entered a new phase. S & I created an event of truly unprecedented quality and proportions. With the help of a Sterno fireplace and a buxom waitress they created a pop-up haute restaurant. The appetizers, which consisted of baked brie in pastry, shrimp wrapped in pancetta, and asparagus (wrapped in prosciutto, naturally!) were delicious. The main course and contest entry was a beef and barley stew that scored particularly well in the prep cookery department (one diner wrote in a "5+"). Overall S & I took a decisive lead with 29.1 points. (Apologies for the lack of pictures--I think they are in Italy right now. I will post when they get back.)
