Fish and Chips

If you ever find yourself within 100 miles of Astoria and you love fish and chips, you WILL want to stand in line for an hour (or more) to eat at the Bowpicker for albacore fish and chips done to delightful deliciousness!  Seriously the BEST fish and chips I ever ate and totally WORTH standing in line for an hour.

Getting closer…

I feel bad I didn’t take a photo of the fish.  They were as lovely as they were delicious, but I was well past starved by the time I got the goodies.

Just eat there.

Dinner with Michael Warring

Jeremy and I enjoyed dinner at Michael Warring in Vallejo, CA.
Yes, Vallejo.

This was our second experience with Michael Warring.  His website says that Michael’s intent was to establish a restaurant that would provide an emotional experience.  The emotion I experienced was giddiness.  I smiled and giggled with delight as each morsel was prepared and served to us. The only thing more enjoyable than watching Michael create his art is eating his divine creations.

Michael’s kitchen is the stage at the heart of the restaurant making the seven counter seats the best in the house.  Michael plates each dish with great care (and big tweezers) so that each creation is a feast for the eyes as well as the palate.
