A quick (mobile) photo survey of the well known Napa joint…

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…

Some really good stuff here — whacky and different — but great flavors and quite unique…

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…
This was a really fun dinner with lots of great champ and whites at this Michelin rated sushi joint…
