Paul McCabe has earned himself "Best Rising Star Chef" from the James Beard Foundation because his cutting-edge dishes blend organic local California produce and self sustainable philosophies into a superb melange of French California Cuisine. His three -course meal includes a first course of Beet Salad with Caramelized Yogurt, Local Citrus, Valdeon Cheese and Candied Pistachios; a main course of California Lamb Loin over a bed of Farro, Heirloom Carrots and Asparagus, topped with a Spiced Pepper Jam; and dessert: a White Chocolate Panna Cotta served with Local Strawberries, drizzled in Rhubarb Consomme and crowned with Strawberry Snow.
