State Bird Provisions
This week’s dinner was at State Bird Provisions. We first ate here in August 2021 and was one of the first places we ate coming off of the pandemic. Back then we sat outside in their parklet since there wasn’t any indoor seating and I remember having to show my proof of vaccination to them…

Caviar, Truffle, Fonduta, Leek Soup
Second dinner with Trisha. Second round on the caviar. Trisha made fonduta (Italian version of fondue) and a potato leek soup with a poached egg (my contribution). Lots of truffle and we still have more than 100g left. Wine was a 2013 Barolo. Very tasty and satisfying meal. Thank you Trisha!

So yesterday I started looking through OpenTable, Resy, and Tock and Lazy Bear was available for a 6:30 dinner. We ate here sometime pre-pandemic (seems so long…

Marlena
Tonight’s dinner was at Marlena. We last ate here in November 2021 just after they received their Michelin star. My recollection was that it was ok and very under-seasoned (just some salt would have helped), but their prix fixe pricing was very value oriented (back then it was $60/pp if I recall correctly). We’ve obviously…

Shuggie’s Trash Pie & Natural Wine
Continuing with our low key dining (Kin Khao last week), we went to Shuggie’s Trash Pie + Natural Wine in the MIssion who’s name largely explains what it’s all about. The “trash” is about “waste” from food suppliers that might be bruised or damaged in some way so their ethos is about reducing climate change…
