06 Prive LeNord. Saved five years (a record for sure for us) for just this moment.


Normally I wouldn't order bread pudding, or dessert for that matter. I can honestly say I have not stopped thinking about this dessert since that night. It melts in your mouth.

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.
