Dinner is prepaid via a ticket system. Two settings per night at communal tables. Two Michilean stars. Here is a typical pic of the plating, and yes he is using tweezers.

It was $170 per person, which included 5 snack courses, 7 main courses, 2 dessert courses, and four "treats" which were like more desserts. The peas were one on the main courses. One of the ingredients of the peas was Benton's ham which made me burst out laughing because it is made about an hour from where I live and Benton's bacon has become something of a cliche ingredient at local restaurants.

Actually not bad considering San Fran, prep time and presentation, and hopefully taste.

We're actually in Baton Rouge for the weekend, but I took her down to NOLA yesterday to visit the French Quarter and get lunch.
I thought the French quarter was awesome. The atmosphere was incredible. My dad and I sat out on the dock next to the River every evening.
I'd love to go back but my wife wants to try a different city next. [Reply]

I'm not one to keep a drawer full of gadgets, but this jalapeno corer is pretty damn handy for poppers. I'm taking some goat cheese, shrimp, bacon wrapped poppers to a bbq this afternoon.

I cut mine in half and scoop out the seeds with a teaspoon. I stuffed them with herb and garlic cream cheese, wrapped them in applewood bacon and sprinkled them with a garlic and honey rub. They'll smoke in applewood for about 45 min to an hour [Reply]
