August In September

Yay, happy birthday to me. 29 & holding.

 

Despite the goings on in Corvalis earlier tonight, my fiancée got me the best gift: an excuse to go to August, a John Besh restaurant. A lovely little corner (though good luck parking) and THE BEST MEAL I HAVE EVER HAD. Seriously. If you get to go, get the gnocchi, save room for dessert, and GET THE CRÉME FRAÎCHE.

 

I'm so glad I'd never gotten to eat there before: I wouldn't have appreciated how beautiful the meal is.

 

If you'll pardon me, I'll be going back to planning a honeymoon. Even though United was the official airline of BrickFest 2006, I think we'll be on Delta, namely because it'd be only a one-stop in Atlanta, instead of spending a night in the airport. Where to? Well, I might divulge that at a later date. Nothing for you tonight. :P

Wait. You're breaking tradition and not giving us your amazing combination of Olive Garden meals?

 

Ah, well, sounds like this was better than olive garden.

 

That's right, happy birthday KIE!

Ooh. A new culinary delight to check out.

 

The Napoleon of Nougatine looks delish. And I'd love to see what their take on the rum cake is. ^_^

 

I always find it amusing when Dad gives a thumbs up or thumbs down to the restaurant after checking it out, requests audience with both the manager and chef, then after lecturing them, hands over his buisiness card with credentials written all over it. It so funny, cuz the buisinessmen could never know that the old man may be retired for over a decade, but he can still talk with extreme power over anything about restaurants. <sigh> I guess that's what happens when you have a masters degree in culinary arts and two decades as an executive chef and hotel manager for big companies. xD

 

 

In any case, I'm nowhere near New Orleans. ._. Sad...

 

 

 

Here's to hoping you have a wonderful time wherever you go! ^_^
