Top of the Hub At 22nd Annual Taste of Back Bay

Renato Gomes Da Cruz (above, center), Banquet Chef at Top of the Hub, served Georges Bank Scallop Salad to several hundred guests gathered on the Skywalk Observatory for the 22nd annual Taste of Back Bay. A sample-version of the restaurant’s new entrée, the dish featured a tempting combination of scallops, faro, baby arugula, pickled carrots, cucumbers, lime truffle vinaigrette and red pepper coulis.
