Weekend Book Giveaway: Service Included

I went to France with my parents when I was 10. While in Cassis, I tried paella for the first time, and was definitely weirded out by the odd-looking seafood int he dish. I'm sure I bothered the others around us with my contact whining.

At one point, I held up a little tentacled calamari and exclaimed to the table "WHAT IS THIS?" The nice Swedish man next to us (also traveling with his family) turns to me and says "something to eat." That shut me up right there.

Best High End Dinner and Lunch in San Francisco

Manresa would be my suggestion, too. However, it's a bit of a trek.

If in the city, I would do Coi for a great dinner. Aqua is an excellent lunch spot.

Question of the Day: What Restaurant Did You Go to on Your First Date?

Cambridge Common, a bar/grill right next to my school. Don't remember what I had, but I do remember that my now-wife and I randomly invited some school acquaintance to join us as we were on our way. 'twas quite awkward; we laugh about it to this day.
