And...
I had been wanting to try out "Top Chef" Richard Blais' new restaurant, The Spence, and since it's just a mile from my hotel, I went ahead and biked over...
I had tweeted @RichardBlais earlier today, and he greeted me shortly after I was seated. I asked him about the menu, and he said that most of the items were small plates, three or four would make a nice meal. So...
-Parker House Rolls & Whipped Coconut Butter
-Oysters & Pearls
-Canned Soup of Watermelon Gazpacho
-Buffalo Fried Sweetbreads
-Bone Marrow, Tuna Tartare & Fried Quail Eggs
-Sugar Donuts, Coffee Glaze & Palm Sugar Ice Cream - Which was an "off the menu" special
-Maldito's Crutch (American Gin, Ginger, Angostura, Lillet Blanc, Mint)
-Latte
In a word: YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!
*I posted some pics on my Facebook Wall. Alas, since I only have my iPad with me, I can't really share or post them here on HHW.
