I had to stop halfway through eating my tomatillo pulled pork migas to take a picture and resurrect this thread.

I signed up for the waitlist every night we were to be in Napa and got lucky the first night. Because of capacity restrictions indoors, the two of us had a private dining room usually used for eight. I'd seen French Laundry posts here before and I'd always wanted to try it and I must say it's an amazing and for me likely a once in a lifetime experience.






















The presentation is messed up because I got excited and cut in first




Again I stuck my spoon in first


The buckwheat ice cream was one of the highlights for me

That's awesome. Jealous.

The egg custard is tremendous. And I can smell those white truffles from here. A truly baller meal! Nice work.

That was my first real experience with truffles (not counting tiny amounts in other dishes) and I have to admit I didn't get it until now. That was an amazing dish, as was the "oysters and pearls" and the smoked quail and frankly everything else.

Not the best pictures but still two of my favorite dishes ever.

tis the season...

When at the Venetian...

Bouchon's Croque Madame with black truffle fries.

Snake River Farms Wagyu ribeye and Parmesan cheese grits.

A filet tasting of different grades of beef. From left to right: prime, A5 Wagyu, "regular" wagyu.

Drunken Noodles with crispy duck

Didn't take a picture but if you live in houston and like octopus you should pay a visit to Bludorn……

Mont d'or cheese with black truffle

Luckily we had a stared Michelin restaurant at our hotel in France this past week. The scallops were very good.

I love this thread. It's fallen off. Let's get it going again.

Nothing spectacular, but I made some ceviche recently that was outrageously good.
