agile_one Posted March 5, 2015 Report Posted March 5, 2015 Awesomeness on plates and from the bottles, Greg. Just, Wow! Al. too late to be of help, not that I had any experience of Alexander's anyway, but hope you had a great, hip, meal.

Voltron Posted March 5, 2015 Report Posted March 5, 2015 Well, I cannot compete with Greg's specially made meal, but my work dinner with some clients did have some pretty amazing food and wine.

Appetizers: “the original” hamachi shot -- truffled ponzu / fresno chili / avocado / ginger / wasabi greens (x24) kobe beef roll -- daikon radish / avacado / sriracha aoli (x4) potato and bacon dumpling thing that I cannot find on the menu online (x4) Half salad choice: furikake caesar salad -- 63 degree egg / furikake / parmesan / garlic / caper-anchovy dressing or iceberg wedge -- point reyes blue cheese / candied bacon / apple / chervil / egg / tomato (my choice) Selection of steaks, shared family style: bone-in filet mignon -- black garlic mushroom purée / beurre blanc / red wine demi / 14 oz. c.a.b prime split-bone ribeye -- house-made kimchi steak sauce / beurre blanc / scallions / 19 oz.

grawk Posted March 5, 2015 Report Posted March 5, 2015 2 chicken tacos and then a grilled cheese sandwich
Augsburger Posted March 5, 2015 Report Posted March 5, 2015 Wow Al, sounds like a delicious meal nice wine pairings too.
agile_one Posted March 6, 2015 Report Posted March 6, 2015 I'll have what Al had. Sounds amazing. Expense account ftw.
Absorbine_Sr Posted March 8, 2015 Report Posted March 8, 2015 At Red Door in Chicago for brunch. This is carnitas with chorizo potato hash, avocado and chipotle hollandaise. And a side of house made kimchi. Fuck it was tasty. 5
shellylh Posted March 8, 2015 Report Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) Sounds fucking awesome (except the kimchi)! Edited March 8, 2015 by shellylh 2
Absorbine_Sr Posted March 8, 2015 Report Posted March 8, 2015 Forgot there were scrambled eggs in there too.
Aura Posted March 8, 2015 Report Posted March 8, 2015 Who's Bacon Maple bar was that? Counter Coffee in Forest Park, IL gets an early morning shipment of them from Glazed Donuts in downtown Chicago every Sunday morning. They usually sell out in a couple hours. 2
Grahame Posted March 8, 2015 Report Posted March 8, 2015 Bryan answered the provenance question. And as a gentleman I doubt he'd be so selfish
Aura Posted March 8, 2015 Report Posted March 8, 2015 Beware my rage if you dare lay a finger on my bacon bar! And I forgot to comment on Mike's awesome brunch. Damn we gotta get there.
Dusty Chalk Posted March 9, 2015 Report Posted March 9, 2015 Having my second large hot'n'sour soup of the day. Must be feeling better because I was hurngry beforehand (so hungry it hurt), and now...well I'm sated now, but I'll be hungry by the time I wake up.
MexicanDragon Posted March 14, 2015 Report Posted March 14, 2015 You are a horrible person, my friend. **BRENT** 1
MexicanDragon Posted March 14, 2015 Report Posted March 14, 2015 I hate you all. So much. <3 **BRENT** 3
