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.  We ended up ordering family style for the most part, with the sommelier advising on wine and food choices.  Here is the list copied from the online menu.

 

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. (x2)

dry aged bone-in new york -- green peppercorn sauce / chives / maldon salt / 22 oz. (x2)

hyogo, kobe japan A5 -- lobster risotto / aged balsamic / aromatic basil oil  (x2)

 

Multiple Sides shared family style:

 

shaved black truffle

brussels sprouts -- flash fried / maple-mustard dressing / spiced pecans
truffled french fries -- white truffle oil / parmesan / black pepper
uni fried rice -- pork belly / ginger / shiitake mushrooms / quail egg / uni

truffle mac ‘n cheese -- black truffle / white cheddar

 

Wine in order of appearance:

 

Corison Kronos 2005 (2 bottles)
Meyer Family Bonny’s Vineyard 2004 (2 bottles)
Mas Doix Priorat 2008
Hundred Acre Ark Cabernet 2009

 

This was all for just 10 people, which seems even more crazy now that I spelled it all out.

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.

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.

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.
