Art At Your Table On The Carnival Glory @ Emerald Steakhouse #Shorts #Funderstruck

Dessert was constructed right before my eyes on my table at the Emerald Steakhouse on my Carnival Glory cruise. Carnival has Art at Your Table, a dessert that is served in the specialty Fahrenheit 555 steakhouse. It starts with the appearance of one or more white rectangles that look like slightly larger versions of a polyethylene cutting board common in household kitchens. A chef arrives with a platter neatly stacked with bowls of sweet ingredients, condiment squeeze bottles and stand-alone dessert items like cookies and chocolates. The chef explains that he plans a "small presentation of desserts" created for the group at the table. He begins with smears and slashes of raspberry puree, creating arcs and fans with the sauce on various parts of the slab. A squeeze bottle yields a white chocolate sauce infused with jasmine tea. A passion fruit jam is used to offset some of the sweet with a little sour. Next, what looks like cannoli made of various sweets are dealt like cards at a poker table. Pomegranate gummy bears, a lemon gel, caramel truffles, meringue dollops, Turkish delights and chocolate cookies are some of the other ingredients. All the while, the chef is adding dots of liquid sweets from the squeeze bottles. The whole platter begins to resemble a whimsical canvas by Spanish painter Joan Miro. As the art comes together, so does the temptation of the textures, scents, colors and imagined flavors of the treats being assembled. The chef works with grace and flair, but not over-the-top showmanship. For the finale, a white chocolate sphere is placed on a bed of almond crumble and cracked open like an egg, revealing cake. It is then topped with chocolate ice cream and mocha ice cream. Art at Your Table is included in the $38 charge at Fahrenheit 555. My steakhouse restaurant reservation was free, thanks to the casino on the Carnival Glory. Tip Captain Billy Here: https://withkoji.com/@BillyJTravels
