Doughnuts are serious business here, which may sound silly, but there is lots to be said about quality ingredients, creative ideas, and a professionally executed recipe and menu. The doughnuts are handcrafted and baked on site every day so they are guaranteed fresh.

I could eat a bar of chocolate and 75 oysters (which I’ve done before) and not feel lovey dovey, or I can eat one amazing dish that makes me want to kick the table and throw the plate across the room. Here are my top 10 orgasmic dishes of this year!

The menu I had was the Chef’s Tasting Menu which I enjoyed, but I was hoping to try more of his vegetarian items. Chef Foshee’s cooking style is very natural, delicate and light. The presentation was near flawless and he is certainly an artist as much as he is a chef.

The desserts were a highlight and I’d come back for that alone. Executive Chef Trey Foshee and Pastry Chef Lori Huffman create artistic dishes that are very forward in thought and simply put, they are both very current with ideas in food. This is a continuation of California Modern – Chef’s Tasting Menu (Part 3/3).

It was an impromptu trip to California and I spent most of my time in San Diego with another quick side trip to Los Angeles (LA). I’ve been to California several times, but it’s just such a massive state and each area is so different in terms of the culinary scene. Here is a highlight of San Diego – Part 1.

My Follow Me Foodie Favourites & Best of 2012! I prefer calling it my “favourites” or most “memorable” experiences, but I’ll include “the best” just because I’m weak and want to align with every other “best of 2012″ list out there. This is a recap of my delicious 2012.

My hands were bloody greasy after this meal… well no blood, just grease. I was prepared though. When “Joe Beef” is featured on the menu I’m expecting to get my protein intake for the month and enough calories for a family of four. It was exactly as I imagined it and more.

If you’re looking for traditional and “authentic” Spanish tapas then book a ticket to Spain, but if you’re open to a Spanish inspired menu then I welcome you to Espana. It was simple, but done well and great value. It pretty much “wins” based on having almost no competition too.
