Cavoletti. Lemon caper aioli. $6
Pesce, San Francisco CA
These were delicious but a little bit too oily. Brussels sprouts are one of my favorite vegetables so I’m kinda picky on how they’re prepared. These had really good flavor, but the greasiness was a detraction.
de Young Museum.
Shaved brussels sprouts, lovage, salsa verde. Happy hour $8
Stoneburner, Seattle WA
Who uses lovage these days?! Stoneburner apparently and it makes me happy. This salad seems pretty simple, but it’s absolutely delicious. NOMS!
Shrub Club: tequila, watermelon shrub, lime, seltzer. Happy hour $7
Father and Son fountain, 2005, Louise Bourgeois, Olympic Sculpture Park.
Rotating cuts of Hornbrook Heritage Farms 100% red wattle pigs, mashed potatoes, butternut squash, white turnip, kale, shaved brussels sprouts, smoked bacon, and natural jus. $25
Citizen’s Band, San Francisco CA
Mmm, this pork was super tender and delicious! The mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables were the perfect accompaniment to this huge cut of pig, hehe.
Mini oatmeal cookies. Complimenatry with check
Small white orchid flowers, Castro Street.
Green apple emulsion, braised leeks, hazelnuts. With extra scallop $40
Workshop Kitchen + Bar, Palm Springs CA
Mmm, this was SO delicious! The green apple emulsion went perfectly with the scallops. The whole dish tasted fresh and new. BUT I think $40 is pretty steep even with an extra scallop added. This restaurant was good overall, but they’re on the border of being overpriced. Just sayin’.
Wood-charred brussels sprouts, aged balsamico, herbes de provence. $9
Bread and olive oil. Complimentary
Boomers Palm Springs. This park is fairly small, but it’s Palm Springs so that’s expected.
Wayfare Caesar: soft egg, boquerones, garlic confit, herbed breadcrumbs. $13
Wayfare Tavern, San Francisco CA
This was a very yummy deconstructed version of a caesar salad. I loved all the different components.
Steamed Prince Edward Island Mussels: shaved Buddha’s hand, bay leaf, creme fraiche, uni butter. $15
The description of this dish sounded way better than what it was. The dish fell a little flat in my eyes and didn’t deliver all the flavor that the ingredients promised.
Baked Macaroni and Cheese: Vella dry jack, smoked olive oil. $9
Another ok dish. This wasn’t special or exciting.
Crispy Brussels Sprouts: garlic, pine nuts, parmesan. $8
These were delicious! I loved the texture of the brussels sprouts and they tasted amazing.
