Here at C-VILLE, we know how to party—which we did with gusto when we handed out our 2006 Best Of awards at the X Lounge one sultry Thursday night. Beautiful people in a beautiful space is always a recipe for fun, or at least intrigue, and the X provided some eye-popping hors d’oeuvres to round out the pretty scene. We had a steamy-hot leek and cheese puff, and we had shrimp skewered on a small plastic tube full of lobster-prawn reduction (to be squirted into the mouth upon consumption of said shrimp). And we had a most inventive beet salad: Served on a spoon, it consisted of a thin slice of Granny Smith apple with minced beet and bleu cheese atop. High points for presentation—and we don’t just mean the food.
