This ladies and germs is fun on a plate, when chef has a bit of extra time on his hands - this is what he comes up with. "The Elvis" is what he called it. There's a lot happening on this plate. As I'm sure you can tell.
Tempura fried banana, chocolate lacquered bacon, peanut butter semifreddo, chocolate and caramel sauce. And that's not plain old powdered sugar on those banana's either. It's a mixture of powdered sugar and bacon powder. If you're wondering exactly what a semifreddo is, it's Italian for "Semi-cold". It's catch all for any frozen or half-frozen desserts. It could be cake, ice cream, fruit (you get the idea, right?).
In this case it plays the role of ice cream, it's a peanut butter mousse that's been frozen. And let me tell ya, freezing a moose is just half the battle [insert half-assed rim shot here]. What was great was the reaction from patrons as our servers would describe this special table-side.
Bonus points to who ever can guess where the title of this post comes from. I can give one hint and I'll say that it is a song.
