Elk, champ and 1,000-a-bottle wines - Rory McIlroy opts for lavish menu for traditional Masters meal
"When I was a kid, I used to eat champ by the bowl full. So I'm trying to tie in a little bit of my upbringing."
"The traditional meal that occurs two days before the tournament gets underway features a menu chosen by the previous year's champion, which is McIlroy after he ended his long wait for his first Green Jacket 12 months ago."
"This year they will be treated to a four-course menu that starts with a choice of four appetisers: elk sliders, rock shrimp tempura, peach and ricotta flatbread, and bacon-wrapped dates."
Rory McIlroy, the defending Masters champion, curated an eclectic four-course menu for the traditional Champions Dinner held two days before the tournament. The meal begins with four appetizer options including elk sliders, rock shrimp tempura, peach and ricotta flatbread, and bacon-wrapped dates. The second course features yellowfin tuna carpaccio, one of McIlroy's favorite dishes from Le Bernardin, a three-Michelin star New York restaurant. Main course options include filet mignon or seared salmon, both served with Brussels sprouts, carrots, onion rings, and Irish champ—a traditional potato dish McIlroy enjoyed during childhood. Dessert is sticky toffee pudding. The wine selection, curated with Shane Lowry's assistance, includes premium options such as a £1000-per-bottle Bordeaux.
