A little dry because I missed the mornay sauce boat somehow. I had that on the same plate as the charred broccoli & swiss casserole and liked the second item better.doug rr wrote:how was this?

We stayed for nearly two hours and the baby barely woke up. Highlight for me was the "dessert" I made of NOLA bread pudding french toast topped with Amish fried chicken.
Awesome meal. Great way to start off the year. Perfect send-off for my impending Whole30 plan.

Re: Which restaurant have you been to recently?
Went to The Smith last night. I never love going there because it's so expensive but we were going to The Met and so it just made sense. Anyway, I had mussels. And I'll tell you, they might have been the best mussels I've had. Just wonderful. The broth they were in was so fucking good, too. Wife and I were drinking it.

Re: Which restaurant have you been to recently?
yeah, I'm excited..my wife has been although not this new location which is near our place..affordable too and that means i'll eat too muchtragabigzanda wrote:That place looks legit. I love the labeling/info section of their menu. Some more exotic offerings too, like kinmedai (aka "splendid alfonsino," aka "golden eye snapper"), angawa (??), hata (??). I'll have to go there next time I'm in LA.

Our family Tex-Mex spot. This one really put my 30 day elimination diet to the test, but I prevailed.
Bowl of Caldo de Res and some Topo Chico. Didn't even miss the tortillas.
