Chef/Proprietor Walter Staib was awarded Entrée of the Year at Philadelphia Magazine’s 2009 Philly Cooks! Chef Competition on Monday, February 23 at Liberty Place.
He competed against more than 50 of the Philadelphia region’s top restaurants/chefs, wowing judges with his Paupiette of Brook Trout - A fillet of brook trout stuffed with crabmeat, wrapped in leek, poached in white wine, mushroom cream sauce, salmon caviar garni, turned red potatoes. The award-winning dish will be available through Philly Cooks! Week as part of the special four-course menu for two for $75.00.
The dish, featured in Staib’s popular cookbook, Black Forest Cuisine: The Classic Blending of European Flavors, pays tribute to the many classic French recipes and numerous trout dishes prepared in the region.
