When we got back from Napa this afternoon, I'd gotten no fewer than 6 emails and 1 phone call inquiring about our dinner last night at The French Laundry. All of that leads me to believe you might be interested to hear about it, too. I have a lot to share -- thoughts, observations, and photos. (Yes, Mr. Food Musings insisted we take pictures, so I can show you a course-by-course visual for the regular chef's tasting as well as the vegetable tasting.)
But first things first. Because I have deadlines fast approaching -- and, let's face it, I'm a little sadistic -- I'm going to have to save most of it for later. For the moment, I offer you a view of the restaurant from our hotel room patio; where we spent yesterday afternoon; and our two favorite courses of the night: Oven-Glazed Japanese Sea Eel, Sea Urchin "Tongues," Akita Komachi rice, Crispy Sea Beans, Candied Pine Nuts and Kanzuri Emulsion (for him) and Hand-Rolled Sunchoke "Tortellini," Fava Beans, Nicoise Olives and Garden Mint Emulsion (for me).
A bientot...!
Yay for Mr. FM for insisting on pics :D. Can't wait to read all the details!
