AWESOME THING WE ATE #869: “Sezmu Beef Tartar” On The Terrace At Mission Hill

by Andrew Morrison | A leisurely meal on The Terrace at Kelowna’s Mission Hill Family Estate during the height of last week’s swelter saw chef Matt Batey’s crew at the top of their game. Case in point was their Sezmu (wine fed) Beef Tartar, which came deliciously complete with whipped dijon cream, tomato brioche, pickled carrot ribbons and a perfect little quail’s egg. I’ll be writing about the experience in this week’s paper, but thought I’d first share a few photos of the meal below…
