Hangar steak with roasted garlic mashed potatoes, bacon brussels sprouts. Basic, yet soo good.

Accanto. Genoa's "other side"

I'll pass on dessert. It's often too overrated, and reeks havoc on the palate after such carefully crafted entrees.

This night found Lindsay and I at Accanto, Genoa's non pre-fixe dinner side of life. We ordered a cheese plate, followed by a complimentary spoon of sorbet.

50 plates - and not for HH this time. Smile

Steak. Because I never cook it at home.

Chocolate Ganache on a spoon.. little treat from the Chef.

McMinnville Grand Ballroom, with one table set for 7

Some evenings are just magic! Almost nothing compares to a four and a half hour dinner with amazing conversation among fantastic women.
