Pear Sorbet

Pear Sorbet

Every summer in July, Toronto has a Summerlicious restaurant special. Hundreds of restaurants have special prix fixe menus. On the weekend, we all decided to go to Katsura, a participating Japanese Teppanyaki restaurant. The chef was juggling the salt and pepper shakers as usual, they put on a special display while cooking. He even sets a tower of onions on fire with brandy. Anyway, he told us the night before, he dropped one of the shakers and cracked one of the plates. He had never done that before, in 21 years of working as a Teppanyaki chef. The plates and all the vegetables had to be cleared away and the process restarted, the poor man!

I had the pear sorbet for dessert, it was very refreshing.
