Signature Dish
Prime Ribeye Done Right At The Grille In Wellington
Story and Photos by Julie Unger
The Grille Fashion Cuisine, one of four Fashion Cuisine restaurants owned by restaurateurs Juan Gando and Dustin Parfitt, has been serving its extraordinary fine dining to the Wellington community since 2011. Parfitt, an accomplished chef, is always looking to bring new and innovative creations to the popular restaurant located on South Shore Blvd. in the heart of Wellington. Last year, he said, a culinary trend was to use Brussels sprouts. This year, another vegetable is in style. “Cauliflower is kind of in this year,” Parfitt explained. “This year, we’ve tried to do some fun things with cauliflower.” As its signature dish, the Grille is featuring the 16-ounce Prime Ribeye. “It features a cauliflower puree, pancetta, asparagus and a red wine reduction. I feel
like it best represents the Grille,” Parfitt said. “Our theme for the restaurant, when we first opened here, was to have a Wellington steakhouse. Doing a steak as the signature dish says that.” The Prime Ribeye, Parfitt’s favorite, comes from Bush Brothers’ Creekstone Farms. Under the steak is a white cauliflower puree, with roasted cauliflower, shaved asparagus and crispy pancetta in a red wine reduction, garnished with microgreens. This unique meal is presented on a board, showing off the colors and texture of the masterpiece. wellington the magazine | januaryr 2017
