These are the opinions and adventures of a Washington, D.C.-based epicure as he cooks and eats around town and around the country. Sometimes witty, sometimes laudatory, sometimes acid, La Cuvée Americaine is an always-truthful account of the food journeys, restaurant visits, and culinary thoughts of the D.C. Gourmand.

Cafe Deluxe, Washington, D.C.
Went to a concert last night at the National Cathedral with a couple of friends. Afterwards, we wandered over to Cafe Deluxe for an apres-concert supper. I had a lovely, thick, crab cake floating on a pool of tasty, sweet, cream sauce lightly touched with dijon mustard along side an interesting mix of sauteed sweet fresh corn and clipped bits of fresh asparagus. For dessert I had a strawberry cobbler à la mode with a pate sucreé top crust so thick and sweet it was nearly a cookie dough.
