Brunch and Dinner Menus from Etoile Cuisine in Uptown Park to benefit October Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Breast Cancer Survivors and the Holly Rose Ribbon Foundation in Houston
Special Events
Order from a special prix-fixe menu at Etoile in October (Breast Cancer Awareness Month) to benefit the Holly Rose Ribbon Foundation, a local 501(c)(3) that provides free reconstructive surgery to post-cancer patients.
Recently noted this week as the Best Foie Gras Dish Houston 2014 – it’s easy to see why:
“At Étoile, chef Philippe Verpiand makes the torchon himself, trimming, seasoning, wrapping, simmering then compressing and chilling the fatty liver into an incredible dish using techniques he learned in France… The attention Verpiand pays to the preparation of this small but important dish is impeccable.” Read more: http://www.houstonpress.com/bestof/2014/award/best-foie-gras-dish-4030191/
