Avenue Café
We were here in Las Vegas only 4 months ago. Back then, this was Netflix Bites which didn’t survive long (and is only notable because Ginny hated it so much and it was a terrible concept) since it’s already gone and re-replaced by Avenué Café. We had breakfast, our first meal here in Vegas. I

Cork & Pig Tavern
Had lunch with our Microsoft account team several of whom were based here in the Dallas area. This was my first chance to meet them all in person. We ate at a restaurant right across the street from our office. I wanted something somewhat light so I went with the Crab Cake salad. I asked

Selby’s
Vendor dinner in the private room upstairs. Glasses of Billecart-Salmon champagne to start. Hors d’oeuvres were quite good. The caviar on the blini featured caviar hybrid kaluga (my favorite) from Petrossian. Other hors d’oeuvres included one made with sunchoke, one with beef tartare and a gruyere puff with truffle (don’t recall where it was from).

Netflix Bites
We went for some late night bites. I remember seeing the signs about this opening when we were here in January. I was morbidly curious.

Coolinary and the Parched Pig
I wanted to spend a little more time with Trisha before she dropped me off at my hotel for my conference. I looked for some places for dinner on Eater and on the Michelin guide and we both thought Coolinary looked good. They didn’t have a reservation available indoors on Resy, so I called them

Townhouse
I scheduled a work dinner before our onsite meeting since we so rarely get together since we are all remote and all over the country. I picked Townhouse since I’ve been here a billion times and is one of the nicest places in Emeryville (as far as I know. I haven’t had to go into

Town House Cafe
Before we headed over to Chicago, we had a quick lunch in St. Charles. We wanted something relatively light so this cafe looked pretty good. The cafe is also associated with a bookstore (we didn’t have time to go in). Andrea ordered the Ham & Cheese Melt and I ordered the asparagus quiche and cream

Fairchild
Our financial advisors are based in Madison so while we were here they offered to take us out to dinner. They know what foodies we are so they selected Fairchild which they was a trendy restaurant. It was located on Monroe St., not too far from Camp Randall Stadium where we would be attending the

L’Etoile
I was interested in going to this restaurant because when I was researching restaurants in Madison, this was basically described as the Chez Panisse of Madison. The restaurant was originally opened in 1976 (just 5 years after Chez Panisse) which is 49 years ago (or as Andrea says “it’s been open forever!”). I was looking
