What's your favorite restaurant?
I don't have any one "favorite" restaurant -- more like a handful of favorites in each of the cities in which I've lived. But one that would be a favorite if it were located here in Seattle is Cuvee, in New Orleans, where I had the best meal in recent history with dishes like these:
- Sweet-spicy frog legs, baby spinach; farmers' cheese vinaigrette
- Steen's cane syrup-cured-smoked duck breast and whole confit leg, walnut-blue cheese risotto, seared Hudson Valley foie gras; pear glace
- Chocolate torte; strawberry - almond ice cream; aged balsamic caramel
Favorite in Seattle would probably be Thai Tom, where the $6 spicy noodle is soooo fiery good with a tall Thai iced coffee.
