What I Ate: February 16, 2011 (Rio Star Grapefruit Dinner at FINO)
Posted 16 February, 2011 at 11:34pm by Michael Chu(Filed under: Food, What I Ate)
I was lucky enough to be invited to a grapefruit themed dinner hosted by TexaSweet Citrus (a non-profit corporation that promotes fresh citrus fruits grown in Texas) at FINO Restaurant. Each of our courses featured Rio Star Grapefruit (which happens to be my favorite - I had two on my kitchen counter before going to the dinner… now I have six). Some had grapefruit as more of a garnish (the lamb) while others were subtle but added a whole new dimension to the dish (hamachi crudo which was cured in a grapefruit juice brine); all were delicious.
