Bbq ribs, feta salad, almond chicken. Complimentary in Executive Lounge
Millennium Seoul Hilton, Seoul SOUTH KOREA
I feel like I’ve been eating constantly during this trip, so when the free snack came around at the hotel I really wasn’t that hungry. But I never run from a challenge so I decided to try a few things. The ribs were decent as was the feta salad. The almond chicken was gross though.
Braised short rib, jalapeno, cheese sauce, pico de gallo, sour cream. $16
The Henry, Las Vegas NV
Wow, this was SO rich, but oh so delicious! The braised short rib certainly put these totchos over the top. Noms!
Tieton Cider Works apple cider.
Happy hour $6
Carpe Diem Wine Bar, Napa CA
This was good. I wish the batter was a little thinner and lighter though so that the crab filling could shine through.
Made to order and served in a traditional mocajete. $6
Tacorgasmico, San Francisco CA
I’m not sure if they were out of mocajetes, but the guacamole was definitely served in a ramekin. Not a big deal, but don’t write something on your menu that you’re not going to do. This guacamole order was really small, even for six bucks. Lame. And I really doubt it was “made to order”.
Sierra Nevada cream cheese, pistachio butter. $10
The Table, San Jose CA
This was good, but I was expecting more beets than arugula. I did like all the different textures in it though, and the beets were pretty tasty too.
Ground Angus beef served with lettuce, tomato, red onion, cheddar cheese and pickles. $12
Affinity Restaurant & Bar, San Jose CA
These sliders were gross! They were hard, dry and flavorless. They were probably some of the worst sliders I’ve ever had. Yuck!
Garlic rubbed crostini topped with fresh diced tomato and basil, drizzled with balsamic glaze. $10
Affinity Restaurant & Bar, San Jose CA
This was good. The ingredients were fresh and clean tasting, but the balsamic glaze would have been better actually drizzled on top instead of underneath.
Horseradish cocktail sauce, mignonette sauce.
Buckeye Roadhouse, Mill Valley CA
These oysters were fresh and delicious. I love Miyagi’s because they’re pretty small, clean tasting and briny. Mmm…
Marcona almonds, watercress, amaranth. $12.95
Buckeye Roadhouse, Mill Valley CA
Mmm, this was yummy. I love burrata cheese and it tasted wonderfully paired with the grilled yellow peaches. It was rich and bright at the same time.
Heavenly Old-Fashioned: Angel’s Envy bourbon, bitters, sugar, gigantic ice cube. $12
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
Thai chicken, peanut sauce, bean sprouts, scallions, carrots, cilantro and mozzarella. Baja chicken, monterey jack and cheddar, corn, black beans, poblanos, red onions and cilantro, guacamole.
California Pizza Kitchen, San Francisco CA
These were gross. They were dry, small and definitely not worth the calories. The flavors were muddled and the peanut sauce tasted weird.
Tomato sauce, parmesan. $12
Caskhouse, San Francisco CA
I loved the tomato sauce in this! It was rich and had a really deep yummy flavor. The meatballs were moist and not dense and hard.
Blond Ale, Saint Archer, San Diego. $6
7 Wonders Pale, Cellarmaker, San Francisco. $7
