Overall, the place was surprisingly excellent, but this was a 7+ hour Chinese meal! Easily the longest Chinese meal I’ve ever had…
Third in this photo series — with a mega set menu designed for about 12 when we have 6! Getting here was a challenge, with 40 minutes winding over a mountain on a dark and rainy night…
A quick (mobile) photo survey of the well known Napa joint…
This was a work retreat in Napa, so I didn’t bother to take notes — but I figured I’d post the photos for completeness…
I read somewhere that they had the best Khao-soi in town, so when I had a work recording session end nearby I had to try…
A carb fest — sure — but Ospi is a really fabulous new-style take on Italian American…
Enjoyable but dubiously worth the long drive casual Chinese meal out in the far east SGV…
I’ve been to this awesome SGV Vietnamese place like 15 times. Many previous meals have been “helluva epic” but not so much this time…
Epic private event at Michelin starred Holbox — pre star…
This place runs like a perfectly oiled machine and while the menu is pretty straight up modern steak house, the execution is really really good…
Some really good stuff here — whacky and different — but great flavors and quite unique…
Very solid semi rustic Italian…
Some tasty Viet Fusion in San Fran…
An even better Duck House trip than usual — and it’s always good…
Busy and close Santa Monica Izakaya…
Rocking the Rayas at Roccos…
Overall, a great and very interesting meal…
I love Szechuan food, so no problems here. Very solid mid level place…
Another amazing omakase to blow out the year…
Possibly meal of the year — so many good ones it’s hard to remember — but definitely up there…
