Minetta Tavern
Finally had a chance to try the famous Black Label burger ($26) at Minetta Tavern with its carefully designed burger meat supplied by Pat La Frieda. And it was ALL THAT and more. The burger was so perfect, the meat so juicy and tender that no sauces or condiments were needed to supplement this perfect little combo of pampered beef & custom brioche bun. Making of the beef patty is a closely guarded secret, a unique combination of dry aged ribeye + skirt steak + brisket from prime beef sourced from Creekstone Farms, Kentucky. However, Serious Eats has a great blog entry explaining the creation of the best burger in the world. We also had the dry aged cote de boeuf with finger-lickin' good roasted marrow bones. Like liquid umami... Mmmm. I have never been so happy to be a carnivore. Dinner ended with the best chocolate souffle i have ever had in my life - all lightness, air, and rich chocolate.

Blue Sky Cafe
Gratuitous photos of stir-fried Chinese vegetables. Just because. The Blue Sky Cafe serves up really good and fresh Cantonese food for a very very cheap price. Go to 1625 El Camino Real, Ste 9, in Belmont, CA 94002.
