Photos: Crescent City Grill 4th Anniversary

My favorite restaurant had a 4th anniversary dinner last night, and Liana and I had reservations. For the dinner, they got a lot of the chefs from Madison-area restaurants to come and each make a dish, for an eight-course meal. In addition to eight courses of truly delicious food, they also had a paired wine for each course, an amuse-bouche, and three Intermezzos. It took almost 4 hours for the whole meal to be served, and I think everybody had a great time.

Nate Herndon, the executive chef, asked me to take some photos, so I took quite a few more than I normally would have for my own purposes. I'm giving him a CD full of them, and it's possible that they'll pop up elsewhere as a result of that, but here are six I like for my blog.

The Chefs	Muramoto's Black Cod
Scallop with Truffles	Pork Tenderloin with Mole
At the Grill Bar	Mark and Melissa

Yum! Because I wasn't really geared up for full-on studio work, all the photos are taken available light at 1600 ISO, which means that they are a little grainy, but it certainly gives the "dark restaurant" feel to them.
