Medium Breakfast, Nice Lunch, Nice Dinner
Breakfast:
Capresso
OJ
Wheat Thins, some with hummus, some with gouda
I tested FoodReporter's function as a social clarion call with no success. Still, I managed to have a nice lunch with co-worker, his charming mom, and his funny baby.
Pentimento Cafe @LACMA
Turkey, bacon, avocado croissant
Potato chips
Tanqueray and tonic
The baby had a quesadilla that he threw around and slapped against the table many times.
The Ivy
2 mint juleps
Corn chowder
Mesquite-grilled Alaskan halibut
Risotto
Baked potato
Some of four types of ice cream: hazelnut, lemon, chocolate, cocoanut?
Coeur de Lion Calvados
Junior was not alone in benefitting from the E3-related fancy food bonanza in LA. The bill was picked up by my high school friend's i-banking associates, who in fact roundly mocked me for not ordering more expensive food. The calvados cost $24. Many things of interest were said at the dinner and I learned a lot about finance and the Nintendo Wee and monetizing content.
The Four Seasons
Ketel One and tonic

SC, how was the calvados?
MattPod, I'm intrigued by your ego-boosting theories on my edibility. Does this have anything to do with those livestocks which are fed heavily on alcohol to improved their taste?
It was fine. Actually, when it comes to calvados, I think the best I've had is Menorval, which is relatively inexpensive (like $24 a bottle). Boulard Grand Solage, which is almost twice as expensive, I found to be less tasty - it had a sharper, somewhat thinner composition.
Who wants to eat me NOW?
Jack -- It does have something to do with beer and alcohol consumption. Basically, the way I understand it (mostly from McGee) is that great beef (which I take as a fair analogy for humans) tastes good because the muscles are not overworked and the cows feed on high quality, flavorful grasses and plants (this is where the real flavor comes from). Strachan seems to eat a good diet for these criteria.
I suspect beer consumption also helps for 2 reasons: (a) the flavor of the hops and other flavor components may translate into the beef (I'm speculating here), and (b) the alcohol probably helps relax the muscles.
I could go on, but basically I think that people think they could get big steaks out of Zachkay, but I bet his meat is too tough, and even if it were stewed or braised it wouldn't be the most flavorful (sorry, I wouldn't eat my friend Zachkay). I also don't think any of the foodreporters have a high enough fat content to make a really great braise, although I don't know too much about human muscle, so I could be wrong (their shoulders or legs might actually work). My bet would be on eating steaks of my friends Strach and Jack.
God bless Strach, but I'd really have to insist on putting her through some kind of Hansel program of forcing her to eat candy in my cannibalism dungeon for a little ways before cooking her up.
I guess this contest kind of got opened up to whomever has the most sedentary, veal-oriented lifestyle. Who's the laziest foodreporter?
Very, very excellent point, Jr. Thinking over it harder, I think Conrad is probably the top of the menu. The menu at the restaurant where we are all murdered and served to people.
