Fond
/Enjoying a “Summer Water”~Aka Rose’ food pairing at Fond. While listening to a medley of Guns n’ Rose’( cute right)
The scene- Last night was a beautiful evening in South Philly while sitting in the best table, the open air window seat for two
The experience a fabulous Rose’ dinner with a spectacular assortment of specially selected Rose’ wines for each of the 5 courses. The wines were selected by David Snyder, that is the ultimate foodie and wine connoisseur while having a day job as an Attorney @ philafoodie.
The dining experience was wonderful before each course Chef Lee Styer and his team would come out and Chef would have each team member describe the course while David would describe the wine.
One of the cutest things of the night was when David said ...Pairing food with wine is not about always hitting a home run, it’s like a relationship, avoiding conflict”. 💯. True that!
So feast your eyes on last night’s selections, I took photos of both those created for the menu and those that Chef slightly altered for me without protein.
Everything was super yum! Two highlights for me were
The watermelon starter was sooo so good the watermelon was infused with basil and topped with this sweet as candy individual kernels of cancha corn, cherry tomatoes ...absolute tasted like summer.
And the strawberry rhubarb shortcake was divine!! While eating it I would get a random surprise sugar crystal. I took some of the chantilly and smeared it on top of half the shortcake and let me tell you I closed my eyes savoring the taste of each bit.
Must try restaurant, beautiful corner location with a visually appealing interior I have a pic of the man that made the bar in this post as well as David the wine connoisseur. Welcoming staff and wonderfully executed food by a talented Berk’s county native chef.
A fun night. 💋
*Plus Jacki and I each received a generous gift certificate from one of the restaurant diners ... just for being so happy and having a fun time. He’s the one we are toasting with.
