Jessie on a Journey
The image shows two dishes from a restaurant. On the left, a grilled steak or pork chop is served with crispy fried onion strings and what appears to be a berry compote or gastrique sauce. The dish is plated on a wooden board, giving it a rustic presentation. On the right, a basket filled with crispy fried items, likely shrimp or fish fritters, sits next to a glass of amber-colored beer or cocktail. The fried items seem to be accompanied by a green sauce, possibly an avocado or tomatillo-based dip. The scene suggests an upscale yet casual dining experience, with a fusion of flavors and culinary influences.

Fusion Flavors at TAG Continental Social Food

One of Chef Troy Guard's renowned restaurants in Denver, TAG | Continental Social Food combines a locavore philosophy with inspiration from Guard's Hawaiian upbringing and travels through Asia and Latin America. This leads to a fusion of unexpected flavors and combinations, whether through Thai shrimp sushi rolls laced with Asian herbs, roasted nuts and red curry aioli; pork belly with mustard goat cheese spaetzle; or the Taco Sushi -- crispy taco shells stuffed with charred ahi, sushi rice and guac made slightly sweet with a gowning of mango salsa ($1 per taco sale goes to local food banks!). Post up with a craft cocktail or selection from the expansive wine file at the open kitchen counter to watch the chefs work their magic, or get comfortable in one of the giant booths topped with traditional French absinthe fountains, so roomy you feel like you have your own private space.
