Sling Blade


You'll need some of these. Almost done with my collection. Most expensive ones last. Tasty

Giuseppe Arcimboldo

"Summer" by Giuseppe Arcimboldo in Fleur De Lys's Men's room. It would be cool to create a real dish plated like these. I may have to get some prints for my kitchen. Perhaps custom tiles, hmm ...

Fleur De Lys, San Francisco




Fleur De Lys with chef Hubert Keller in San Francisco. Very refined taste, but I simply don't care for the style. Seems like expensive ingredients just to have them. Great food if this is your thing. Gallery

Pho Xe Lua (The Train)


Pho Xe Lua #105
I usually get this Pho with beef and no tripe. Compared to Pho Ha on Washington the broth has less of a beef and more of a vegetal flavor. Not a bad thing, just different. Pho Ha has springy-er noodles.
Comes with: basil, lime, spicy bean sprouts & hot pepper slices.

Zento



Catching up on backlog ... Zento's a small place so reservations might be in order.
I didn't care for the warm double shrimp roll. It lacked something I like about the cold variety. Couldn't find it on the online menu.
All the fish is top notch, although I haven't been to Morimotos yet I have been to Nobu next door in NY. Not as good as there, but 90% or so and MUCH cheaper.
