Sobel and Amoroso's dishes and Miss Gager's wonderfully balanced cocktails were certainly some of the stars of the show, but the Isidori dish had, as my girlfriend so aptly put it, "Too much going on." And it isn't that it wasn't good or flavorful or anything else that would qualify it as an excellent dish. It's just that, in a field this full of "yumminess" this dish was not a shining star, but a dim bulb. In reality, picking the best dish of the night truly was an exercise in splitting hairs. In the end my vote actually went to the Chef from Batali's stable for his sweet and spicy pork dish that actually had the best balance of flavors of all the dishes put forth. It made me just a little happier than the rest. Somehow you managed to hit the 75% of the time that I agree with you, in one post.
