chicken nuggets

eggs benedict


the cubes are deep fried hollandaise sauce, cut it open and it oozed out. the breading on them is thomas's english muffins. the egg was just yolk cooked in a plastic tube in an immersion circulator. i dunno how they cooked the bacon. but it was damn good. they invited me into the kitchen to meet the chef as well.

My favorite place just went up to $148 per person for the 8 course and they added a 12 course meal for $208. Then the wine pairing is at least another $140 with it. Only do something like that once a year really.

How about lobster tail?

Insane looking breakfast tho. :bowdown: I treated myself to a pretty crappy meal here at a local steak place, Truluck's. Second time I've spent over $100 there and still disappointed

That was actually the appetizer for my dinner. Wylie Dufrense favorite dish is eggs benedict so he has to have it on his menu.


Oh man I ate so well in Montreal when I was there for the race. Managed to get a table at the hottest restaurant in the whole city at 7pm on Saturday. Pretty sure I ate a whole ducks liver that night. My father and I actually walked there from our hotel. The concierge was like "you have reservations there?" and was in shock when we said yes, and also was in shock that americans would want to know how to walk there since it was like 2 miles away and up the hill. I actually lost weight on the montreal trip even with all that I ate. Lugging 25lbs of camera gear to the track and back 3 days and then walking even more to get to restaurants seemed to burn off calories.

Yes, the driver looks like he's sitting too far back, but i know nothing about LM racing... the square window makes it look like the front end of a train or something....

I'm down with Ken. But that's only because the army pays me so little, that's all I can afford to eat. :mamoru:

My favorite place is actually on an old Rockefeller farm in westchester county. They serve stuff that came from the farm that day almost exclusively. Seafood obviously they got to get as well as some other things but almost everything is grown there.

You been to the wrong places then. Blue Hill at Stone Barns doesn't leave you feeling hungry since its like 10 amuse bouche and then 8 courses. Each course isn't too big but when you have that many its enough.

I generally don't either, but I don't do them that often because I hate paying the prices they charge. The fanciest I get is like what we did at Montreal this year, or if I'm taking clients to dinner at SEMA etc...
