restaurant week
Went with Nancy to “the Modern” for a restaurant week dinner last night. “Serious Eats said the modern had the best variety for dinner. So we went. We didn’t have reservations but we figured we could get in quickly with my striking good looks as our entry fee…..instead we were told we had to wait 2 hours, but to check back in one. (so much for my good looks). We went shopping in the meantime.
I bought 2 jackets (yes I realize it is summer). One leather and one blazer. Zara was having a sale..so I didn’t feel bad buying them. Nancy got herself a cute dress.
Boom….1 hour later..
My meal was delicious. The company was even better.
Lychee soda.
warm lamb and goat cheese terrine with toasted pistachios and watercress. Yum
beer-braised pork belly with sweet pea puree and ginger jus. Awesome.
Strawberry Soup with buttermilk panna cotta, lemongrass gelée and pistachio ice cream. Surprisingly really good.
