On Saturday night, Will and I caught up with Coco and Sonia for a post-wedding celebration (Coco and Sonia got hitched in July!) and dinner at Baker & Banker.
Some appetizers to start, the Liberty duck and prune terrine, herb mustard, cornichone salad, toasted baguette (from the Baker & Banker bakery):
House-smoked trout, potato latke, horseradish cream, pickled beets and shaved fennel:
Fried padron peppers, lemon and sea salt:
Brokaw's avocado, burrata, housemade fennel seed crackers, pickled shallots and Villa Manadori balsmico:
For dinner, both Sonia and I had the Mirin and soy-braised black cod with Mendocino uni and shitake sticky rice, with charred bok choy. It was A-MAZING!:
Will had the braised lamb agnolotti, smoked eggplant, shishito peppers, bouquerones, and squash blossoms:
Coco had the seared locak King salmon, eggplant caponata, black garlic, slow roasted cherry tomatoes, and basil aioli:
For dessert, the candied bacon doughnuts, bourbon cheesecake and maple glaze:
Nectarine and pluot crips with brandysnap ice cream:
Apple tarte tatin, with brown butter ice cream and almond parmesan tuille:
Pumpkin gingersnap tart with gingerbread baked Alaska:
Newlyweds!:
Dinner was fantastic, we need to find a reason to go back soon. It's been a long time since I've seen such an exciting dessert menu too!
