Too lazy too post

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):
  1. Momofuku Ko - wasn't very impressed and nothing was very memorable - I'd rather go to Ssam.
  2. Blue Hill NYC - enjoyed it very much and want to go to the one to the north of NYC
  3. Four Seasons - very expensive and mediocre
  4. Babbo - always amazing - duck egg with white truffles on perfectly grilled bread is well worth the $80 in the Fall
  5. 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.
  6. Topolobampo – Chicago – Mexican food sounds so much better in your head and on the menu – the result is just muddled flavors
  7. Charlie Trotters – Chicago - phenominal
  8. Aureole – service and food were mediocre – it's a shame because I've had better experiences in the past
  9. Peasant – pretty good
  10. Santon Social – I really enjoyed the whole small plates of good food concept
  11. Spotted Pig – ate at the bar – food was OK – salty and fried – maybe a little too salty in some cases
  12. 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
  13. Centro Vinoteca – I really like to concept of inexpensive small, Italian 'tapas'
  14. Casa Mono - always a pretty tasty experience - wish they could get access to some of those 'illegal' Spanish hams
I also travel around the country a lot for work and most of the food is garbage. I'm probably just eating at the wrong places. I'll do a better job of cataloging these meals so that I can actually back up my claims that most of the food around the country is garbage.
