This thread has been slacking...I'll try to revive it.

From the best brunch I've ever had...Vice Versa NYC (2 dishes shared with my wife).

Casonceli (ravioli with chopped veal, pork, raisin, amaretti and topped with butter/sage sauce and pancetta)...so good! We had actually been to the chef's hometown in Italy, which few Americans go to, so he talked to us for a while and offered to send some to us!



And then eggs and white truffles for only $20! The chef really liked us!

Short rib at Per Se in NYC.

At Il Tartufo, a truffle inspired pop-up at Eataly in Chicago.

One of my favorites: the Pantera burger at Kuma's in Chicago. Cheeseburger topped with roasted poblano, bacon, tortilla chips and ranchero sauce.

Funny story here (IMO). We were in France and spent all day at the Louvre without breakfast or lunch. We were ravenous when we spotted the "Hanburger y Chavel" special at a street cafe. Having avoided burgers and the like for over a week, and starving, a burger sounded like exactly what we wanted.

We sat down, ordered, and as we waited on our food to come out, the wife decided to look up what kind of "cheese" chavel is.

Oops...

Hippo****y?

Edit: forgot that the word filter censors that syllable.

Yep that's it. I was so hungry I ate it anyway, or at least enough to curb my appetite.

I never realized they made horse cheese! I learned something new today. Doubt I'd order it intentionally, though. Interestingly, "Au cheval" means "by horse" but the French also use the word to mean "egg on top."

I took that to mean it was horse meat.

Sous vide filet mignon I made last night

Made these Black Forest cupcakes and pretzels last year.

Australian black winter truffles on pasta at Skogen in Custer, SD. I've never had the Australian truffles and I was impressed. And Skogan is a gem in an area that doesn't have a lot of upscale choices. Check them out if you are in the Black Hills.
