Food, ambiance and customer service are some of the attributes I consider in deciding where to eat. Sometimes, it’s as casual as walking up to a food truck. Other times, I like getting dressed up and having a nice meal at a top establishment. While I don’t think about it that often, I sometimes enjoy the restaurant just for the experience.

What do I mean by experience?  It could be entertainment, music, the outgoing nature of the server, I think you get the idea. Dominique’s Kitchen now provides that experience with the classic French dish, camembert flambé. It is currently offered as a special and will soon be incorporated into their regular menu.

Ordering this dish is a great way to impress your date. The camembert cheese is served on a small cast iron pan and the server uses a torch to sear the top of the cheese. Once completely seared, a small amount of warm brandy is poured over the top.

Previous to this moment, I’d never had camembert flambé. It is soft, gooey, and the warm brandy addition makes it a delightful taste sensation. If you enjoy cheese, you should contact Dominique’s Kitchen to find out when they will be serving this dish. You won’t regret it!
