Booze Beat: Chef Stefan sees green at absinthe fete
The wormwood craze entered a new phase last night as absinthe starred in dishes created by Top Chef season five near-winner Stefan Richter (a step above Dr Pepper, wouldn’t you say?). The spirit, distilled with rosemary, sage, coriander and eucalyptus, added funky notes to his lobster bisque with dill and anise and found its way into fluorescent green Jell-O cubes that studded his Kumamoto oysters with fennel vinaigrette, at an event sponsored by the French absinthe Le Tourment Vert. The dishes were paired with elaborate absinthe-spiked cocktails dispensed by Steve Livigni and Daniel Nelson of the Doheny in downtown L.A.
