White mole. Bar seating $180
Pineapple & Pearls, Washington DC
Mmm, these fried sweetbreads were perfect! I love the portions and the fried herbs. This little taco was super delicious and had so many fun textures.
Mardria braised veal cheeks with poached leeks. $8
Jasper’s Corner Tap and Kitchen, San Francisco CA
I thought the veal cheeks tasted good and were pretty tender, but the poached leeks were not edible! You could not cut through them or even try chewing them. Such a waste!
Veal shank served with sweet and sour silver-skin onions. €20
Trattoria Sora Lella, Rome ITALY
Oh lordy, this was delicious! The veal was so tender and I liked that it wasn’t in a regular tomato or red wine sauce. This sauce was so flavorful and really complemented the veal. NOMS!
Veal-pork meatball, pomodoro, grana padano. Pre fixe menu
Mozzeria, San Francisco CA
Finally, something that was delicious at Mozzeria! I loved the texture of the pasta. It had a nice bite and was beautifully made. The meatballs were nice and big, and super juicy and flavorful. Unlike the other things I’ve posted from here, I’d eat this again.
Harvest brodiaea (Brodiaea elegans, Asparagaceae), Bon Tempe Lake.
Spaghetti, tomato, parmigiano-reggiano cheese, basil. Half order $8
Alicante, Palm Springs CA
A half order only got you one meatball which was kinda lame, but the singular meatball was tasty and tender. Still, it’s all pasta and the meatball just looked lonely so I don’t think I’d order this again.
San Jacinto Mountains.
With ground pork and veal, vegetables, grated cheese.
State Bird Provisions, San Francisco CA
Needless to say that this meatball was SUPER moist! The sweetbread added a rich flavor and luscious texture to this delicious meatball. Noms!
Red Kangaroo Paw flowers (Anigozanthus sp., Haemodoraceae), West Field Road.
Veal cutlets sauteed with white wine, capers, caper berries, lemon, parsley, served with spaghetti tossed with toasted garlic and olive oil. $19
Briscola, Reno NV
The veal was over-breaded and disgusting. For a veal picatta, this dish lacked acid which is surprising considering there are cpares, caper berries, lemon peels, and a citrus based sauced! Then how did the kitchen still accomplish to make it devoid of citrus flavor? The side noodles are a throw away since they lacked any flavor or life, and just take up space. Horrible service and horrible food!
House salad for the table comes with entree orders. Meh.
Galena Creek waterfall, Mount Rose Summit Trail.
Beef, pork and veal meatballs slow-cooked in a tomato basil sauce. $14.50
Jake’s on Market, San Francisco CA
Another definite comfort food. The meatballs were super juicy and the sauce was delicious! I liked that they didn’t go overboard with the amount of pasta.
Extra grated parmesan cheese.
Large hen-and-chicks plants (Echeveria sp., Crassulaceae), Dolores Street. I love the dramatic, upright inflorescence.
