Carbone - Your Holiday Dinner Treat!

by Andrew Chalk

At a recent media event at Carbone Dallas I had the chance to inverview Beverage Manager Andrew Schawel. It was enlightening to see the work that gos into the beverage side of the large restaurant. In additon, I got to see the food side of the restaurant and why it is hopping even on a Tuesday night.

The restaurant took the media through some of their menu favorites and it occurred to me: This is the ideal place for family or business holiday festivities!

Caesar Salad. Key points: The croutons are the best in Dallas. They are made from brioche bread and overloaded with butter. This makes then crumble submissively in the mouth releasing alluring sweet buttery flavors.

Giardiniera. Fermented vegetables are just one of Italy's gifts to civilization.

Spicy Rigatoni Vodka. A house favorite.

Tortellini al Ragu. My favorite pasta dish.

Ribeye Diana.

Dessert? Sinful carrot cake.

Clubby feel. I'll be back.
