Last Tuesday, I had a fabulous evening at the Four Seasons downtown for the 12th Annual Flavors of Denver Culinary Gala, an event put on by the Denver chapter of the American Liver Foundation. As I mentioned in a previous post, for dinner everyone was assigned to a table that was paired with a chef. I was secretly (ok, maybe not so secretly) hoping to be at one of Daniel Asher's tables, Root Down or Linger. I couldn't believe it when I was seated at the Linger table! I had just written about my love for Linger the week before so I was thrilled to get to meet the chef. Marty, the sous chef at Linger, dazzled us with his cooking skills and creativity and was kind to answer all of our many questions about his lovely dishes. My favorite aspect of the meal were the wine pairings, which were perfectly matched to complement each dish. We started with what was basically a deconstructed masala dosa, which I had the first time I was at Linger and loved. I loved the lamb with roasted tomatoes as well as the dessert, an apple doughnut to dip in a mini mug full of hot apple cider with whipped cream. Mmmm.
Seated at our table was the evening's speaker and his wife, a preacher from Summit County who was a liver transplant survivor; a reminder of the great cause we were all supporting.
