Triple seared musk ox, black trumpet cake, red wine cherry tomato, yak marrow jus - 3 J's comment > another winner of the night, the juiciest steak I've ever ever had; the muskox is now officially my go-to red meat protein, it's crisp and is full of flavor; the cake was OK, but really unnecessary next to such awesomeness. |

Chateau Ste Michelle, Indian Wells - 2 J's comment > not sure which type of red this is, but this red was very intriguing; right off the bat I got a smoky bacon chocolate flavor that was quite distinct. www.ste-michelle.com/our-wines/tiers/indian-wells |

Extra Comment
This was a special 10 course tasting menu running until Feb 15, and each day's tasting is different; 300 dishes in 30 days; I honestly don't know how Secret Location is doing this. Incredible. You also have the option of getting everything as a 'surprise', or have the server inform you ahead of time. For more info go to www.secretlocation.ca/300
