Deluxe vittles @CarmonsBistro in @dtChampaign. Pics from soft opening!

Carmon's Bistro is about to open their doors to the public. Tonight was day two of their soft opening — and we had a preview of what's to come. We ordered: pumpkin soup with wild mushroom + caramelized onions and a crostini, $8; charcuterie plate with pork terrine, chicken liver mousse, pork rillettes, mostarda and pickles, $9; 1/2 dozen Malpeque oysters with horseradish, orange and Tabasco caviar, $15; steak frites, Drew's mustard truffle fries, caramelized shallots + blue cheese butter, $21; blanquette de veau with peal onions, wild mushrooms + potatoes, $22; creme fraiche ice cream with profiteroles and chocolate sauce, $6; vanilla and buttermilk Bavarian cream with grape sauce + peanut brittle, $6; and finally, creme brulee made from blueberry compote, $6.

A round of applause to the sensational staff and many thanks to Thad and Josh for the honest-to-goodness, delectable feast!
