The crowd at Iron Fork on Wednesday was pretty big, and I worry that guests didn't have a chance to gaze on the winning entries, so I'm posting this camera phone shot of tayst restaurant's triple-take on purple asparagus. From the top: asparagus tips served with bacon-caramel sauce and lardons; with blood orange foam; and quinoa with strawberries. On the right, the tayst team's other entry: marinated flank steak over two purple spears, plated with a bowl of tobacco-smoked potato puree in a bath of cool asparagus soup, to quote Carrington's original report.

Looking back, I can't explain why I didn't just reach out and snatch up that asparagus with bacon and caramel.
