A few hours at the Porsche test track in Carson is not the worst way one could spend a sunny summer afternoon. Luckily, the food at (on-site) Restaurant 917 is quite good as well!
Porsche 918 Spyder Supercar, for those who also have the Taycan on order…
Some bubbly to enjoy as we await our seat…
Nice, airy observation-deck seating allows every diner a panoramic view of the test track…
King of the Ring: Suntory Whisky Toki, lemon juice, honey syrup, sage… Nicely poured.
German pretzel bread, with butter from Stuttgart, sea salt… Tasty as heck bread, served with cute, 911-shaped butter. Dr. Ferdinand would approve.
Cavatelli: Beef ragout, cherry tomatoes, pecorino, ragout… Nice al dente finish on the pasta, with a balanced flavorful ragout.
Sea scallops: English pea purée, Black Forest ham, white beans, wild mushrooms, tendril… Perfectly sear on those tasty large scallops. The dish is a tad on the rich side, with the mushrooms playing a surprisingly earthy counterpoint.
The wheels on them Porsches go round-and-round…
Dessert time! Strawberry Rhubarb: Berry compote, shortcake, rhubarb emulsion, meringue ring… Delicious!
Restaurant 917 offers customers at the track a chance to grub on some well-executed dishes while enjoying the action on the track.
RECOMMENDED.
