Council Oak Chefs Come Together 4959d

Posted on: Dining

While the restaurants are essentially the same, our very own Chef Carl Murphy and Tampa’s Chef Omar Torres gathered last night to collaborate on a realigned menu for both locations.

The Blue Crab Cocktail was first on the list! This dish has jumbo crab meat with crème fraiche, lime, Guinness mustard served with grilled Gem lettuce.

The Blue Crab Cocktail is sure to make your mouth water!

When the outcome is this delicious – it’s okay to have too many cooks in the kitchen.
