I was watching the Top Chef Masters last night and they used a cooking term that I have never heard before. In fact, I have been to several online cooking dictionaries and it's not in there. I searched here. No mention.
The word is "Brandard". As in "Brandard of Scallop and Shrimp".
There was even a little debate among the judges. "That was a true brandard." "You think so? I wasn't so sure it was an actual brandard." Or some such discussion. It was the episode that Michael Chiarello won.
Does anyone have an idea what the heck a "Brandard" is? Through google, I get various menus with items such as "Brandard of Halibut", but nothing that tells me what it actually is.
It's driving me nuts!
