Austin: Truffle Oil, Blood Orange Oil and Fig Balsamic … Oh My! [UPDATED]

[UPDATE!] This dinner was postponed to October 13 AND still has seats available–snatch one up today!!

For my birthday, a lovely friend of mine got me a bottle of white truffle olive oil. Can you imagine?

I am obviously now obsessed.

So when I got an email about a  FINO’s Chef’s Table Series dinner with Con’ Olio with the above subject line (title of the post) I couldn’t help but be intrigued. The dinners always begin with a cocktail reception followed by a 4-course (in this case, 6-course!) dinner at the 16-seat chef’s table. You can buy the whole table or reserve seats individually. The price for this dinner is $75. Make reservations immediately at (512) 474.2905.

Con’ Olio Chef’s Table Menu:

1- Tuscan Blend Oil– Warm House Made Pita Bread & Hummus
2- 18 Year Balsamic– Strube Ranch Waygu Beef Crudo, Sea Salt & Arugula
3- Blood Orange Oil– Grilled Halloumi Cheese With Blood Orange Salad
4- Sicilian Lemon White Balsamic-Slow Cooked Salmon With Chili & Mint
5- Black Truffle Oil– Creamy Bomba Risotto With Farm Egg & Crispy Richardson Farms Pork Belly
6- Fig Balsamic-Vanilla Creme Catalan With Fresh Figs In Balsamic Syrup

In November 2009, Jeff and Tabatha Conarko opened Con’ Olio Oils & Vinegars in the Arboretum. They’ll also be there, so you can pick their brains about anything and everything oil-related!
