Truffle dinner #1: Regiis Ova Caviar, martinis, pasta, Barolo
It’s hump day so of course we deserve caviar and martinis. We were bored with the usual Tsar Nicolina caviar so we ordered this from Regiis Ova Caviar. We went with 50g of the hybrid caviar which features caviar from two different types of sturgeon. The packaging and the hand written thank you note are…

Dry aged steak
First steak off of our 37lb side of beef. Dry aged 6 weeks at this point. Reverse seared in the self-repaired (that’s a whole story by itself) big green egg. Andrea made a chimichurri sauce which really paired fantastically – the aged steak was bursting with umami and fatty goodness (and a bit of aged…

Truffle day #1: Gnocchi, fried egg, fonduta, barbaresco
It’s hump day so what better occasion to have summer truffles overnighted (it actually takes 2 days) from Provence (thank you Les Pastras!). This was actually our replacement shipment of truffles because DHL held up our original order in Ohio for a week while the truffles died (cue fungicide funeral dirge, #firstworldproblems). We made a…

Acquerello at Home meal kit
Extending our covid social bubble slightly to include Trisha. We started with some dirty martinis and caviar. Then we had our take home dinner meal kit from Acquerello which was even better than the first time we tried them. Add a couple bottles of Croix Pinot and we’re fat and happy, but glad to see…
