No pictures but I did a sweet chicken sausage with whole wheat angel hair pasta and a fire roasted tomato and basil sauce. I actually measured everything out and if my math is right the plate came in just under 575 calories.
Last year I had the most amazing dining experience at Ardent. $150 per person for an 8 course tasting menu with beverage pairing. I think each plate had about 1/4 cup of food on it, tops, but it was like Jesus had touched my soul and I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
Two grilled cheese sandwiches and cucumber slices, salted, peppered, and moderately drenched in ranch. No pics, already in gut.
Agreed. I just checked the price for @big soft moose 's similarly described entree with a portion of meat considerably smaller than a playing card at my two L.A. favorites: $38-$42. Pasta is $27. Apps $17-19 Dessert prices aren't listed but $10-12 as I recall. ETA: Actually I think the chocolate souffle for 2 was $21. I remember because I couldn't eat it because it had chile (not disclosed on the menu). I love mole, but not as dessert.
"My little woman - aping all the great chefs of the world - I seen ya . I seen your collection, your cook books, Elizabeth David audio diaries: she said this...and she said that. Nice. She said olive oil, did she? And eating, and eating - for an orgasm, was it? Yeah, I seen ya, all wobbling in your kitchen on your urchins, honey, sludge, tofu - for a water baby. You want a baby? I'll give you a baby. I know, you're seeing secret, sushi, weekdays, eh? Lavender, breakfast, nut milk. 'I could have been on Masterchef Australia for my parrot on French toast, pan fried, semi-finalist, at least, my dream.' Yeah, ya nag, jus fackin do it, will ya?" "I will, I will...you watch me, I shall be free." "Suits me, babe [burp]"
Ah, there's @matwoolf, wielding the Scepter of Interest while wearing the Crown of Incomprehensibility, as he rules the Realm of Huh? What the...?
Like I'm terribly allergic to cheese (mold allergies), so they get used in the same sentences a lot around here. Ditto for red wine, sourdough bread, and mushrooms. I'd be so screwed if I were French... edited for clarity because I shouldn't be on the phone and type at the same time.
Aw that's a shame. Some cheeses are really exquisite. (Just reading over to ensure those two words weren't together. @8Bit Bob has a good eye...)
