I will change the avatar I made for him and replace the steak with a bowl of tomato soup.

Iron chef morimoto ?

 

[Poker Zombie]

Last year, we also hit Morimoto's place in Napa. Had the uni prepared a little differently:

But the big surprise win for the lunch was the Bone Marrow:

 

[detroitdad]

wow............My wife and I love Chef Morimoto. I've never tasted his food. His presentations are outstanding.

Hitting a Morimoto restaurant might just have to be an Anniversary present

Grilled elk with a port wine reduction, garlic mashed potatoes, and asparagus.

 

[detroitdad]

Grilled chicken and grilled broccoli

 

[k9dr]

Bacon wrapped bratwurst. The gravy on the plate was left over from the poutine (gravy and cheese covered fries, with deep fried cheese curds). There were about 20 on the platter, I just didn't think about taking a pic until I realized this was going to be the death of me...

I never take pics but I smoked bacon and burgers tonight on my Weber. Served with salad and tots, the family and myself loved it. Also caught a bunch of bass with our youngest boy today, what a great day!

Dinner at Morimotos

Didn't know he had a place in Napa now! We've eaten at his places in Philly and NYC several times, and they're terrific. The yellowtail looks just like the same dish I had in Philly.

It probably is. It's a signature dish he made on Iron Chef so I bet it's on all his menus.

Last night was a Cakebread Cellars wine dinner at a local resto, Mattison's Forty-One. The chef/oener, Paul Mattison, had just returned from being one of six chefs nationwide chosen to cook at Cakebread's annual American Harvest Workshop at the Napa vineyard. He created six of his own and the other chefs' dishes for this dinner:

- Sauvignon Blanc 2013, with a king crab and cucumber amuse bouche.

- Chardonnay Napa 2013, with salmon and a rosemary lemon-honey glaze, and chard with a citrus buerre blanc.

- Pinot Noir, Two Creeks (Anderson Valley) 2013, with rabbit porchetta, fontina polenta, and rabbit ragu.

- Merlot, Napa, 2012, with seared duck breast, pumpkin mascarpone agnolotto with pepitas, pumpkin puree, and sage brown butter.

- Mullan Road Red Blend (cab, merlot, cab franc, ~50-30-20), Columbia Valley 2012, with cumin crusted Colorado lamb, roasted mushrooms and Brussels sprouts, spiked tomato reduction, turnip gaufrette, and lamb demi-glace.

- Tattinger Reims NV (same FL distributor as Cakebread), with pear torta di mele, and dolce de leche praline crunch gelato.

The food was outstanding, and we did not come home hungry.

The merlot was actually the standout. The sauvignon blanc was very much in the Loire style, and excellent. The wines all retail here in the $40 - $57 range, so I wasn't tempted to stock up.

It was interesting to see how widely Cakebread has acquired new vineyards, totalling well over 1,000 acres now.

Today, my wife left for a week's work in DC, so tonight it was Nathan's hot dogs for me. How the mighty have fallen... :

Had a fantastic lamb roast at my parents over the weekend. No pics...

I had the best dinner I've had in a long long time. I have to live apart from my oldest son Tommy who attends Mercersburg Academy in PN. Who would think that you would find a great Japanese restaurant in rural PN. Last night's menu - (I fly to Amsterdam today )

Rainbow Roll, Smokey Roll (smoked salmon, avocado, mango), Yami Yami Roll (maguro, salmon, hamachi, albacore, red snapper, avocado wrapped in soybean paper and tempura fried), Black Pearl Roll (oyster, lobster, eel, and a bunch of stuff I can't remember), hamachi nigiri

Cooked my oldest and my youngest a birthday dinner tonight.

We had Yellow Fin Tuna Steaks cooked rare with a side of roasted broccoli and garlic/lime aioli.

 

[detroitdad]

Venison steak, mixed greens, and long grain rice.

I somehow missed this thread until now. I'll add noteworthy stuff when I have a chance, but I have seen a lot of mention of aged steaks in my run-through of what's already here. Anyone else ever dry age their own?

Haha. Yeah we've done several since this, with the longest being 89 days or so, i think? That first one was the best, though. Probably the best steak I've ever had.

 

[Poker Zombie]

I'm just saying, if there's a meet-up in your area that I can make, I will pay you (in steak) to age some rib-eyes for me.

I'd also have to figure out a way to cook it as I'd be a long way from home. Stupid logistics...

 

[detroitdad]

How do you dry age your own steak?

veggie pizza last night.
