The hottest new restaurant in River Oaks, and home to one of THE best brunches in all of Houston, is 60 Degrees Mastercrafted. There’s only one Master Chef in all of Houston, and here he’s a stickler for detail.
Fritz Gitschner is an exceptional culinary talent, and in this latest piece we take on 60 DMC’s 60 in 60 prix fixe lunch menu, inspired by and tailored toward the working man (or woman’s) weekday, 1-hour lunch break. In other words, 60 minutes for a snappy 3-course meal and you’re on your way, satisfied and secure for the afternoon ahead.
60 in 60 is a fun concept that tweaks our perception of fine dining. Watch as Master Chef Gitschner walks our cameras thru his quick Chicken Picatta, made just how they do it in Italy with a tremendous lemon caper sauce, angel hair pasta and fresh garden veggies.
On a quest for something lighter? There’s the Blackened Fresh Catch of the Day…for us a sea bass with white beans, barley, spinach, sautéed mushrooms, roasted red bell peppers and shaved parmesan. This dish was spectacular!
For dessert, you have the option of Caramelized Apples in Feuille De Brick (flambéed apples), Crème Caramel or these guys: Mini Pecan Balls i.e. homemade ice cream rolled in hot fudge sauce and topped in chantilly cream. Perfectly portioned and an awesome way to end a midday meal.
If you care to linger even longer, Master Chef happily suggests wine pairings with each course. Heck, do lunch at your leisure and still take advantage of this fabulous dining deal!
And now, a recipe from our chef in question, especially for Goodtaste viewers: Hamburger Soup made with ground Akaushi beef!
