Speaking of win. Neptune Oyster in Boston — Island Creek & Beach Point with a good Chablis. Followed of course by the melted butter doused lobster roll. Oh lord give me calorie control, but not yet.
This was a 2lb cowboy ribeye and a bottle of 2012 Ornellaia for lunch at Quality Meats. The I-Banker bros three inches away at the next table (yay NY) were giving off strong “who’s this fucking tourist?” vibes so I had to go for the surreptitious shot. On the other hand, I also got to eavesdrop on their genius-level strategic analysis. Example: “You know I really think the sooner we can get something signed, the faster the whole deal will go.” [emoji966][emoji966][emoji966]
Yesterday: Bachelor Night 3
A James Bond Martini: Their take on a Vesper (which I patiently explained to the waitress was the proper name). Uses a Riesling instead of Vermouth and a thinly sliced cucumber. Interesting enough for me to drink two.
Escargot on a puff pastry
Bacon, potato and leek soup
A nice chenin blanc
Lobster Sauté
Cafe con leche
Butterscotch Crème brûlée
Not sure I can take a fourth night
Well, it was Tuesday, and the menu is in Portuguese, but what the hell. There is a wine store here, and they invite some winemakers to demonstrate their wines in a harmonized dinner, and it was Super! Too drunk at the end to take pictures of the grapa´s, very beautiful bottles.
Wife got mad at me ´cause I first tried the food and only after took the picture. Dessert almost did not survived until then.
