What's for dinner tonight?

Watched my new DVD of The French Chef last week, and it has inspired me to try Boeuf Bourginon. (Wonder if that can be done in a crock pot...)

Mario was out of town but I did get a chance to say "Hi" to Frank Langello.
Right after we sat down, before the menus were handed out, we were served marinated ceci beans over bruschetta as a pre-antipasto.



We ordered:

• Vino
  • Barbera
  • Tocai
• Antipasto
  • Roasted Beet Tartare
  • Grilled marinated mushrooms
  • Grilled octopus
  • Marinated fresh sardines
• Primi (shared 3)
  • Pappardelle Bolognese
  • Gnocchi in Oxtail ragu
  • Goat cheese tortelloni
• Secondi
  • Roast sea bass (2)
  • Grilled quail
  • Fennel Dusted Sweetbreads
• Dolci
  • Gelati and Sorbetti
  • Biscotti and Cookies
• Digestivi
  • Nardini Grappa
  • Lemoncello

By the time we got to the Blue Note to see Faddis, there was no room for us, so that one event was a wash-up. Overall, great day and evening.

Holy cow! When I go out for dinner I can't even order an appetizer because I won't have room for my dinner, LOL. (How many notches did you have to loosen your belt, hee-hee?)

did you ever see the size of the portions on ICA they are little, wonder if it is the same at the restaurants. When I was at NOLA's the portions were not huge, but when your done you were full, but not stuffed. Emeril's in NO was pretty much the same way.
