Awesome meal. Great way to start off the year. Perfect send-off for my impending Whole30 plan.

how was this? I want it now
Croque Madame Casserole, Smoked Ham, Gruyere, Roast Tomato, Mornay Sauce
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.

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.

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.

I was eyeballing the nozawa box too, glad this lived up
the special of the day was monkfish liver..basically quickly boiled then "mashed" into a pate type of ball covered in miso...i could have eaten 200 of them

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.
