Small plates at Chenery Park

Two of the excellent small plate tastings at Chernery Park are the Smoked Sable salad and the Corn and Chipotle Chowder. The sable is smoked in-house and presented on a julienned bed of radish, carrot, and cucumber with a kumquat vinaigrette garnished with slices of jalapeno. Here we have a fission of flavors; the silkiness of the smoked sable, the crunch of the vegetables, the spiciness of the jalapeno bound together with a spritely vinaigrette. My tastebuds were dancing. All to be wrapped in the richness of the chowder that followed. Ah-h-h.
