Oh, a new place. What’s that like? I’ll tell ya. This place is delicious and the decor is very cool. It felt kind of like a combination between a diner and an Italian pizzeria. I like their kind of pizza. Very thin, spicy, delicious toppings.
When I was little, I used to call that thing in the background The Chicken Roaster. Like, crazily, fanatically. Dedicated. I took this from the inside of the tower at the De Young Museum in 2007.
Clinton made an appearance at Cal last week and we figured he might go to Chez Panisse for dinner afterwards, so we went. Just in case. He didn’t go but the meal was still incredible. It was my first visit to the cafe in over 3 years and it was better than I remember.
Finally perfected the dough, now it’s time to play on it. Yukon Golds, thinly sliced with the mandolin, sauteed red onions, garlic-lemon olive oil and fontina and mozzarella cheeses. Serve with arugula and lemon.
Apparently on Sundays, Taqueria Vallarta serves tacos. Lots of tacos of many varieties, including lamb, carne asada, carnitas (sometimes), cabeza and grilled chicken. Nearby? This is the place to go.
Poc-Chuc is what you would call Spanish-Mayan Fusion. Okay, I wouldn’t have thought to call it that, but it’s what they call it’s damn good.
I don’t usually like sunset shots but I took this out of the back of a car in Hawaii and I love the blurry palm trees and the dark vertical rays they form in front of the red and blue background.
I’m obsessed. Saw these over at Hypebeast and now I can’t stop thinking about them.
If you know where to get them, holler please.
