It is sometimes the simplest of dishes that are the most difficult to make.  They can be dishes with the fewest ingredients like the carpaccio I enjoyed at Toscana in Brentwood. It was the best I have ever eaten.  It was made with the freshest of ingredients: pounded raw beef, arugula, Parmigiano Reggiano, olive oil and lemon that blended perfectly together. The raw beef melted in my mouth. Each bite of the salad was perfection.  I crave their carpaccio daily but live too far away to enjoy it regularly.
