Triple Creek Ranch at James Beard House in New York
Executive Chef Jacob Leatherman of Triple Creek Ranch takes center stage in New York when he cooks at The James Beard House on November 21, 2013. His extraordinary menu, created for the occasion, reflects his devotion to the American larder and hints at what he'll be serving at Triple Creek Ranch this winter. Chef Leatherman's dishes include aspen smoked sturgeon served with bison, Meyer lemon vinaigrette, organic caviar, roasted shallot crème fraiche, and strawberries; grilled lobster with Peruvian white bean puree, mushroom curry, crispy salsify; and roasted antelope loin with sexy brie grits, poblano and quince salad, and hubbard squash broth. Triple Creek Ranch's Sommelier, Jeremy White, has chosen wines from Chappellet, Merry Edwards, Et Fille, Pepper Bridge, Navarro and Domaine Huet to serve with the meal.
