As Cannabis Legalization Spreads, More Chefs Are Cooking Edibles | Eater Chicago

"Manny Mendoza’s Herbal Notes is a multi-course dinner series (six-to-seven-course tasting menus starting at about $150) in which every dish is microdosed with THC and CBD; for example, courses can include king crab with cilantro cavatelli pasta finished with a poblano Mornay, spring peas, and crispy prosciutto. Mendoza stresses that the point is not to incapacitate guests but to season thoughtfully — he’s deliberate about infusion and dosage control, uses lab-tested oil extracts made in licensed facilities (rather than plant-flour infusions) to improve taste and accuracy, and aims for balance so diners get the idea of cannabis without being overpowered." - Sam Nelson
