There's an option in between regular fries and well-done fries. It's called "lightly well," and it's how I always order my fries. IMHO, I think well-done In-N-Out fries are overcooked, but the fries "lightly well" are just like pommes frites.

I love Delfina, but they completely failed on the Margherita. The tomato sauce was surprisingly bad. The Carbonara pizza was brilliant, though, especially with the runny eggs on top.

Pizzaiaolo is also really good, and I really need to go back soon. A16's Margherita was good but the tomato sauce had too much flavor...if that makes sense.

My fave Neapolitan pizza in the Bay Area is still Picco in Larkspur.

The Tam is a weird place because the food is generally solid all around but both the atmosphere and clientele are so dated that it's kind of a depressing place to eat.

Still, if you're craving Lawry's prime rib but don't want to deal with the crowds in Beverly Hills, The Tam is a great alternative.

I made a point to have a Monte Cristo when we went to Disneyland a few months ago. You can now get them at Cafe Orleans across from Blue Bayou. Here's what the Disneyland ones look like:

A couple years ago, I was searing some beef shanks for some osso bucco and put them in the oil in the wrong direction and got a hot oil spray in my face. This was about a month or so before my wedding. Luckily, everything healed nicely and I didn't have any scars.
