Crispy Thai Shrimp
I got that as soon as I bit into the Buffalo Chicken Spring Rolls. And the
garlic shrimp flatbread with chorizo, and several other herbs and
spices. My palate was having joyful new experiences.

Cayenne Maple Glaze Duck
Next was the award-winning Crispy Thai Shrimp.
A showstopper. It’s easy to see why they took
home the Best in Show, the Trailblazing Award
and People’s Choice honor at the Best Bites
event.
Out comes the 14-ounce pork chop with mac ’n
cheese. Big, beautiful, moist and magnificent. But
the sauce...mmmm...a balsamic reduction, with
bing cherries, reduced down, mixed with whole
grain mustard.
I tried another of King’s interesting takes on tradition. You’re familiar with wings and waffles?
Well, this was duck, pan-seared with a cayenne
maple syrup glaze. And if that wasn’t daring and
delightful enough, how’s this? Wild rice and
cheddar waffle. And it was wonderful, but who
comes up with that?
“I’m not sure where that came from,” admits King.
A good place, I imagine.
