Super Duper Egg-O-Rama

I do not see a lot of people get too excited about happy hour. I do not see people get too excited about deviled eggs. I have never seen people got so excited about deviled eggs at happy hour.


When Mitch Pressky, chef-owner of the well-respected restaurant Supper decided to jazz up the happy hours at his restaurant for July by offering “designer” deviled eggs as snacks, people got curious. He came up with 12 versions of the egg and would offer four different ones each night for a dollar a pop. To kick off the promotion, he offered all 12 eggs on the first day of July for $9.00, and threw in a can of Sly Fox for an extra $3.00.

So what is so special about these mixtures of egg yoke, mayo, mustard, and seasoning, piped back onto an egg white half, one may ask? As any self-righteous fashion conscious woman can tell you, “It’s not the clothes; it’s how you accessorize them, my dear.”

Clockwise from lower right hand corner:

 

• Black Truffle.

• Sriracha with pickled daikon, carrot and coriander.

• Horseradish with steak and Roquefort.

• Curried with roasted cauliflower and mint.

• Lobster with dill crème fraiche.

• Scotch egg with country sausage.

• Pistou with ratatouille.

• Wasabi with uni and crispy nori.

• Braised bacon and cheddar.

• Chevre with asparagus.

• Smoked chili with corn-red onion salsa.
• Saffron with salt cod and roasted garlic.

Verdict: We liked the black truffle. Streak and Roquefort was nice. I likeed the curry in the curries roasted cauliflower very much. It made me want to have Indian food. The lobster with cream was fresh. The Scotch egg and sausage was the most innovative one and I enjoyed that a lot. Tourist Tree liked the ratatouille. The Nori and uni were good. It would have been better if the uni was larger. I thought the bacon was excellent on its own but was a bit lost with the egg. I wasn’t crazy about the asparagus but Tourist Tree thought otherwise. We both liked the chili and salsa and we both agreed that the saffron, salted cod and roasted garlic just didn’t work. My favorite out of the bunch was the Sriracha with the daikon. There’s something about the spicy of the Sriracha, the coolness of the daikon, and the texture of the egg.

Tourist Tree normally does not like eating cooked egg yoke; it’s a textural thing for her. So, extra credit has to go to her for at least taking a bite of each egg concoction; for journalistic purpose, of course. Contrary, when it comes to deviled eggs, I could just pop them in mouth one after another like candies. For the record, we had several cans of the Sly Fox Royal Weisse with the eggs.

 

The Beer Lass was guest bartending.

She insisted that I took a better picture of her.

Wonderwhy so many cameras were on the counter?
