We've been to a lot of places since my last post and unfortunately I haven't written about any of them. So, because of my horrible memory (that was the point of this whole blog) I cant really write anything. Let me at least try to remember where we've been (we've been to and I've written about some of these places already):
- Momofuku Ko - wasn't very impressed and nothing was very memorable - I'd rather go to Ssam.
- Blue Hill NYC - enjoyed it very much and want to go to the one to the north of NYC
- Four Seasons - very expensive and mediocre
- Babbo - always amazing - duck egg with white truffles on perfectly grilled bread is well worth the $80 in the Fall
- Jean Georges – this place and Babbo have to be my favorites in the city. One dish: egg shell filled with caviar and an egg cream inside is amazing – I'm not even a huge caviar person.
- Topolobampo – Chicago – Mexican food sounds so much better in your head and on the menu – the result is just muddled flavors
- Charlie Trotters – Chicago - phenominal
- Aureole – service and food were mediocre – it's a shame because I've had better experiences in the past
- Peasant – pretty good
- Santon Social – I really enjoyed the whole small plates of good food concept
- Spotted Pig – ate at the bar – food was OK – salty and fried – maybe a little too salty in some cases
- L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon - Four Seasons Hotel New York – costs and arm and a leg – thats why the 2nd time I went back for lunch and had Payton's ex-co-worker pay it tasted a lot better
- Centro Vinoteca – I really like to concept of inexpensive small, Italian 'tapas'
- Casa Mono - always a pretty tasty experience - wish they could get access to some of those 'illegal' Spanish hams
