Physics friends and I are trying to branch out from our usual "let's hang out at happy hour" routine. Since we're all foodies we decided to try a "let's try new places to eat that we've really wanted to go to" one.
It's hard to find a place none of us have been to. First eligible restaurant: How to Cook a Wolf.Their special that night was geoduck .... we'll call it sashimi style. Raw, thin sliced, but with herbs and sauce. So fresh and yummy!
Soft boiled eggs - Action shot! The little round things are potato somethings. Crispy.
Cauliflower with capers and pine nuts. The capers were gross and salty. Probably because they were giant for some reason. They're at the very bottom part of the picture in the pan. But you know who might like them? People that like olives.
Spaghetti Nero - we were all so excited to try this but then... the peppers got in the way. The spiciness masked any inky goodness that might have shined through. Mussels were nice and fresh though, which shouldn't have been so surprising given the state of the geoduck. I would order it again, but my mission to find squid ink pasta continues!
I always feel bad taking pictures in nice restaurants, because nice restaurants usually mean it's dark. So the flash on my camera goes off which is rude to other customers. My friends were kind enough to illuminate the previous pictures with their phones, but after a while I felt bad about all the effort for the pictures. So these are blurry.
Pork belly - WHAT! When is pork belly ever not good? Probably if overcooked. Did not eat the fennel underneath. I think I like Cantonese style pork belly better, or they might be equivalent and cheaper Chinese style.
Favorite dish of the night though was definitely the lamb tagliarini. You must have this with wine. The lamb was shredded and tender and the sauce was nice and simple. If I were to crave anything from this restaurant it'd be this and the geoduck.
