White asparagus is a very special spring ingredient and it was a terrific challenge for our 5 Star Makeover this month. My co-host Lazaro and I appreciate all the hard work everyone put into first finding the white asparagus and then preparing unique creative gourmet dishes, really highlighting the different flavors of our chosen ingredient and making it shine. With all of the wonderful entries here, we have a real Spargel Karte, a whole menu featuring white asparagus!
