I want to go to a somewhat fancier restaurant then I am used to for my birthday. But my usual plan to escape crowds and judgement at any kind of resturaunt, i.e., go at 11am, is not a posibility here. Ugh.

Xoidanor posted:Dahlgrens in Stockholm loving owns. After about 15 minutes it was clear why they have their 2 stars. I'd have more pictures but I was honestly too busy enjoying myself to fiddle around with my phone, god was it expensive though. Matsalen is , easily, the best meal I've evar had, and the most expensive. I haven't been to Frantzen after they recieved their second star though. As for Chef's Table, I thought Dan Barber was an insufferable bore. The episodes I really liked where Niki Nakayama, Massimo Botura and Magnus Nilsson, for different reasons. Francis Mallman seemed like an rear end in a top hat, but his food looked good.

Why? Don't be nervous about anything. You own the place when you're in there.

I just want to be a good diner. I love asking questions and really hope i'm not being too annoying, or taking up too much time. I do leave the servers alone when they are obviously booking like crazy, but then again, that's also why I go during slow times, so I can be a little pesky. Welp, turns out that I wont be going to Orsay, instead we're going to Mitchell's Fish Market cuz we got a gift certificate.

Go to one of those restaurants where your waiters are blind and they serve you everything in the dark.

Tomorrow is my 10 year anniversary so we're going to a semi fancy restaurant for dinner. I worry about ruining the dishes with my dairy allergy, though.

I'm currently at a skateboarding house party in Tahoe. There are no fat people here, but there is no air either. Coincidence? Edit: some people are eating burritos, I think.

I don't like how she phrases some stuff, but she makes some good points about how irrational food fears are a byproduct of wealth and privilege. http://www.skepticalob.com/2015/05/how-the-irrational-fear-of-corporate-terrorism-leads-the-privileged-to-betray-the-less-privileged.html

Did a butcher on two goats and lamb last weekend, just had the first of it tonight - shank portion roast from the lamb. About 7/12 pounds, beautiful fat cap which kept it so moist, delicious flavor from the field grasses and such the animal had been eating. Ended up with a freezer bag full of sliced meat after dinner (for sandwiches all week ooohhhhyeahhhhh) and a great big thigh bone for soup. Raisin` and killin` animals is the best.

After a delicious French dinner on Saturday (duck confit was excellent, and their soup du jour was a golden beet puree with lemon creme fraiche that was incredible), we went for a drink at a local hangout where there was a legit breakdance competition going on. A good weekend.

That sounds awesome. I love duck confit, I love beets (and the lemon creme fraiche sounds delicious), and I love breakdancing (watching not doing).

Not DC proper but unless you're from Southern California, then Vietnamese food in Northern Virginia is another thing to check out in the DC area. Eden Center is a good spot to go. There's a really good tofu shop there and a bunch of other places you can just wander around and eat.
