Tomato compote, La Peral crema. Chef’s tasting $45
Tinto, Palm Springs CA
Omg, these potatoes were SO delicious! They were super smoky and perfectly fried. The tomato compote was also tasty and worked perfectly with the potatoes.
Chicken breast, beef, scallops, shrimp and mixed vegetables in an oyster-soy sauce. $26
Wang’s in the Desert, Palm Springs CA
This dish was decent, but way too expensive for what it was – a combination stir fry. I feel cheated for saying too much.
Beef, onions and peanuts. $12
Thai House Express, San Francisco CA
This panang curry was on the salty side but I still liked the overall flavor of it. I just wish the slices of beef were less gristly and and a bit more tender.
Singha beer. $5
Brioche, mango, hazelnut.
Garcon, San Francisco CA
Wow, this was so rich and delicious! It was almost too rich to finish, but I’ve never been one to leave foie gras on my plate. The bright mango helped to cut some of the fat so I was fine, hehe.
Baguette and butter. Complimentary
Served with tartar sauce. $11.99
The Lockspot Cafe, Seattle WA
Mmm, this was great! The fried true cod tasted great – they were crispy on the outside and hot and fluffy on the inside. The French fries were also fried perfectly. Mmm!
Chef’s tasting $45
Tinto, Palm Springs CA
I love olives! These were great, but I thought they could have been infused with a little more flavor.
Sliced Angus beef, celery, green onions, carrots, wok fried in Szechuan sauce. $21
Wang’s in the Desert, Palm Springs CA
Another pretty salty dish from Wang’s. I liked the Szechuan sauce flavors, but it wasn’t spicy at all – not even a little bit.
With pink peppercorn. Each $3
Garcon, San Francisco CA
These oysters were very tasty and the pink peppercorn vinaigrette was a great accompaniment. They did a very good job cleanly shucking them too.
Sparkling brut rose, Pierre Brecht, Cremant d’Alsace. $11
Fresh salsa and tortilla chips. $9.48
Anthony’s Fish Bar, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA)
I’ve always liked the fish tacos at Anthony’s. They’re not deep fried and the pineapple salsa really freshens it up. Mmm…
Served with clam chowder and soda.
Pork chorizo, jalapenos, mushrooms, pepper jack cheese, served with fruit. $14
Escena Lounge & Grill, Palm Springs CA
This omelet was pretty lifeless. It was overcooked and dry and even the filling ingredients couldn’t help it out. Hmm…
Mini blueberry muffin.
Baby lettuces, shaved mahon cheese, Pedro Ximenez vinaigrette. Chef’s tasting $45
Tinto, Palm Springs CA
This salad was simple but tasty. The shaved mahon cheese and Spanish vinaigrette really made the difference.
Bread and olive oil.
Sliced Angus beef in a spicy oyster sauce. $18
Wang’s in the Desert, Palm Springs CA
The beef was pretty soft and tender. I liked the halved bok choy, but they sauce wasn’t spicy at all. I needed more heat!
