A couple of weeks ago, the official menu for the upcoming Masters Champions Dinner in honor of the reigning champion, Jon Rahm, was revealed on the tournament's official page. This year's Champions Dinner will be quite different from the last one, which was served in honor of the Masters 2022 champion, Scottie Scheffler.
Last time, the starters included cheeseburger sliders and firecracker shrimp. However, this time, the starting course will feature Basque crab salad and potatoes.
The main course this time will have a Spanish flavor, with options such as turbot with white asparagus or Basque ribeye with Tudela lettuce and piquillo peppers. Last time, the main course consisted of the Texas Ribeye Steak or Blackened Redfish with family-style mac & cheese, jalapeno creamed corn, fried Brussels sprouts, and seasoned fries.
Additionally, acorn-fed Iberian ham-cured pork loin, Idiazabal cheese, black truffle, and a Spanish omelet with onions and confit potatoes will also be served as an appetizer. Special mention for lentejas estofodas, which is referred to as 'Mama Rahm's Classic Lentil Stew', which is a dish by the Spaniard's grandmother.
The two-time major champion disclosed that this year's Champions Dinner menu was inspired by the northern Spanish Basque country, particularly Bilbao. He included all his favorite dishes with the help of renowned chef José Andrés. Rahm revealed that Andrés even called his grandmother for the recipe of her special dish.
"If somebody doesn't like it, please just don't tell me," he said as per LIV Golf. "Don't tell anyone actually. It means a little bit too much to me to hear it."
Last time, warm chocolate chip skillet cookies were served as dessert. This year's dessert will feature 'Milhojas de Crema y Nata', which is a puff pastry cake with custard and Chantilly Cream.
