actually, the thing i found most amazing about kyle's post is that a golf club in bumf*ck illinois (is that where it is? one of those skinny states we fly over) has a wine program. 20 years ago, most restaurants in san francisco didn't have one. god i'm old.

My uncle posted photos from a party at the Whitehouse. Food looks kind of :-/

foodguy · Dec 8, 2011

that's by design. a friend of mine cooked there and the menu review process was quite ... er, non-gourmet. food is chosen to avoid any possibility of offense, whether through richness, spiciness, ease of eating ... my guess is it's quite accidental that anything actually tastes good there. OTOH, how can you go wrong with oysters and shrimp?

mordecai · Dec 8, 2011

Nothing wrong with cheese either, but the whole scene makes me feel like someone is about to come try to sell me an overpriced condo or start a limbo line.

The oysters look like they were drained of their liquor and served dry.

Socialist macarons and a blackberry crumble in a bowl:

Britalian just sees himself as some sort of master provocateur. I wouldn't pay him much mind.

Spaghetti Bolognese today, yesterday ordered pizza, the day before I made some Berner Rösti with a salsiccia-fennel-onion-carrot-tomato(paste)-white wine-sauce. Looks so-so, tasted good, although I should have made brunoise of the carrots. And the Rösti wasn't as good as last time, not sure why. Plating sucks (pretty much like always :slayer:

)

@Kyle: How is the motion in the US concerning what a sommelier should be able to do? There is a trend here in Europe that a good sommeliers should master non-alcoholic beverages, too. (Nope, I do not mean a dozen different waters) And since non-alcoholic wine doesn't taste too god, nor do sodas (stuff like coca cola, I think that's called soda, right?) fit to haute cusine (or to any cuisine), the focus is on juices. Vegetable juices, fruit juices, both mixed and so on. IIRC Noma already offers juice pairings.

Trotter has been doing that for a while.
