A total of 155 rooms and 66 dancers dressed in Target’s fall 2010 styles will perform “dazzling choreography synchronized with fast-paced lighting patterns set to an original music score” on the southern façade of The Standard. A simultaneous presentation will take place at the street level where models wearing 25 of the hottest looks from the fall Target lineup will appear in a nine-room replica stage that mirrors the windows of the hotel. If you’re not in NYC, you can watch the live-stream broadcast at Target’s Facebook page. Guests will be able to log on to Target.com following the show to pre-order select fall fashions. I think the image look’s amazing already and I’m sure this will be a fantastic event, since I will be in Vegas for the Magic Trade Show I’m gonna have to livestream it myself.

Cotton Candy Foie Gras

This was weird but hey, why not give it a try. A generous piece of colder foie gras with a cotton candy wrapped around. They say this is a one bite, but for me one’s just too rich, taking one bite, cleansing it with some water and resuming was good enough. The flavors were great, who would’ve thought the sweetness of the cotton candy would pair well, but then again the way foie gras melts in your mouth matches with the way the cotton candy dissolves.

Braised Wagyu beef cheeks clementines

The beef was so succulent and braised to perfect, extremely tender that you could just cut the beef with your fork. This has a bit more of a saltier flavor to it so with the sweet tangy flavor of the clementines with the wagyu beef, it was a match-made in heaven.

JAMONES Y EMBUTIDOS

Catalan style toasted bread with perfectly diced tomatoes, I was able to view how this dish was being prepared and they’re extremely pick with how they prepare the tomatoes, a delicate touch only to it. Served with your choice of ham(prosciutto) we opted for the Jamón Ibérico de bellota Fermin. Honestly, the bread and tomatoes were so perfect that I just opted without the ham, which made my bf happy, more meat for him.

Philly Cheesesteak

They explain this as an air bread, just imagine an extremely thin and delicate puff pastry hollowed out in the center, filled with a cheddar foam inside, and topped with thin slices of wagyu beef. I honestly could’ve gone for several orders of this. A deconstructed philly cheesesteak of perfection.

Tortilla de patatas

Potato foam, egg 63, caramelized onions, this dish was just extremely weird, gooey, rich, but absolutely delicious and worth giving a try, I love eggs and it was just really cool to pair this up a new way with foam.

Croquetas de pollo

Chicken and béchamel fritters, this was delicious, I could imagine a deep fried chicken pot pie. If you love rich food, and anything deep fried then this is your dish.

Chocolate au Pain & Passion Fruit Marshmallow

I was disappointed with the chocolate au pain, it tasted a bit dry to me and not as rich as I expected the croissant to be. The passion fruit marshmallow was fun and delicious, I loved how the flavor was infused, it was a delicate fluffy.

Apples Carlota

This bread pudding was very good, it was like a creme brulee topping with that burnt sugar. Along with a saffron sauce and a milky ice cream, the apples were personally a bit too tart for me in this dish, but I couldn’t stop devouring the ice cream, it was rich, but tart, and combination was just perfect, if I could just buy several pints of this and rush it home to my freezer I would.

Traditional Spanish Flan

With a vanilla whipped cream and rich caramel sauce, the flan came out perfect. Sometimes the most simple things are the best. The flavor of a spanish flan is more rich and condensed but not heavy. I could’ve ate several orders of this, but then again with my sweets tooth I could give them plenty of business just on there desserts alone. My bf and I pretty much fought over this dish since my bread pudding was overpowered by the apples.

Overall experience here was great, I would definitely return here once again when I have the chance to which will probably be coming up soon since my bf and I have been dying to have another meal here. I hope you guys enjoy and take this restaurant into consideration and give it a try. Also I will be posting up recipes coming in the soon near future. Apologies for delay posts, my life as a bio-chem major is killing me !
