Best of luck tomorrow night, Michael and Bryan, on your James Beard Foundation Dinner event!  No doubt, you will knock 'em dead!

Would you please let us in on whose dish is whose?  I have my guesses, including wine pairing clues, but I'd love to know for certain!

Alrighty then, I'll post my guesses as to whose dish is whose:

Hors d’Oeuvre
Sweetbread Nuggets with Lemon Jam and Olive Capers- Bryan
 
Uni Gougères- Michael
 
Porcini Puffs with Smoked Salmon Caviar- Bryan
 
Sweet-and-Sour Macaroons with Avocado- Bryan

Kushi Oysters with California Estate Osetra and Horseradish- Michael

Pork and Beans with Dehydrated Applewood-Smoked Bacon and Kumquat Preserves- Michael

Dinner
Shima Aji with Sea Sponge, Japanese Peach, and Finger Lime- Michael

Sturgeon with Salsify, Quinoa, and Morels- Bryan

Pigeon Pastrami with Gruyère, Rye, and Mustard- Michael

Wagyu Beef Cheek with Roasted Peppers, Chickpeas, and Parsley- Bryan

Dessert
Baba au Rhum with Charred Pineapple Jelly and Pineapple Sorbet-  Bryan

Chocolate with Hazelnuts, Espresso, and Toasted Marshmallow- Michael

I'll admit, it's a total toss-up for me as to whose recipes the gougères and puffs are, as well as the desserts.

Anyone else have a guess?
