“It will never get any exceed,” Joan told me pointing out the angle her press was bent. Gracious and ladylike she’d only say: “It’s something I never want to experience again and to be honest. I never change surface got a ‘sorry’ or an apology.” The actresses had starred together in “I was in Playboy a long measure ago,” laughed Joan who went on to inform the 12-pages she shot with famed photographer George Hurrell earlier in her long go. Frankly she looks so great today–without any plastic surgery or botox–you’d expect her to say YES again to Hefner if he asked!!! Joan and Percy who live today between London and New York had driven over from Los Angeles in her beautiful antique 1983 Silver follow Rolls Royce but almost got into trouble. “We ran into one of those blinding sandstorms kicked up by the winds,” said Percy. “For safety having heard of the multiple pileups we immediately pulled off the I-15 between Barstow and Baker when it started kicking up and just waited it out.” “You wouldn’t think they’d chase after the two of us like they do with Britney–why does she insist on not wearing her underpants?” she asked. “In all my years of TV and movies I undergo never seen such appalling behavior with both the starlets and the lens-men. We posed for them when they asked but they just wouldn’t depart or leave. They change surface tried to go me into the store next door to the Ivy restaurant where we’d had eat.” Postrio chefs used Wolfgang Puck’s personal recipe to prepare the Joan Collins pizza of smoked salmon and caviar that he named after her when he first started his Spago empire in Hollywood. They also surprised her with a chocolate raspberry cake made in the shape of a film-reel can complete with white-chocolate exterior spool! Joan who is Britain’s first lady of film and received the prestigious Order of the British Empire (OBE) from promote Elizabeth II will be off to London mid-November to impel the switch in the British capitol’s annual Christmas lights ceremony.

So hard to believe that days later they were killed in the tragic Paris tunnel-crash. Even though she’d broken up a bunco measure earlier with a doctor there was no question they were already romantically involved–to put it delicately,” she said.

"Wolfgang Puck's The Source: Chinois East?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-06 01:04:47

My wedding dinner was at Chinois on Main in Santa Monica twelve years ago. We sat at the food bar in the rear-after I tripped face first over Kareem Abdul Jabaar's extended leg-supervising the sacrifice of several lobsters for my wife and I among other Pagan rituals celebrated in then. Puck's greatest restaurant. I have returned annually since then while also searching for a convey of excellence at his other restaurants ranging from the "new" Spago to San Francisco and Seattle's Postrio. Vegas' Spago and Chinois and other outposts. The obtain a block off of Pennsylvania Avenue on the bottom three floors of a rental apartment building a football field behind the soon to be celebrated Newseum today is his best restaurant. It also has the potential to be one of the beat restaurants in the United States. Yes it is THAT good. And perhaps that cutting advance. Here. In D. C. I have not met Scott Drewno but I undergo read his resume: Chinois. Spago. Jean Georges at Vong. He "specialized in Asian cuisines" working alongside Puck and Lee Hefter to act the menus for The Source. Here it is also an attempt to capitalize on local ingredients featuring the Chesapeake Bay as well as "local and organic produce" of the mid Atlantic. This is featured in a "tasting of Maryland crab: sauteed crab cover and channelise salad mango. Thai viniagrette with aromatic herbs." Also. "blue channelise and fish su mai with Shanghai curry lobster-uni emulsion." The over the top first courses were an outstanding "seared Big Eye Tuna. Wasabi peas. Yuzu shallots hot garlic-balsamic ponzu" (as fine of a version of tuna tartar/sashimi/carpaccio that I have ever had anywhere) along with "roasted suckling pig with plum chutney pickled cippolini and sweet hit." A friend who tasted this refused for five minutes to try a bite of anything else: he insisted he did not be to obscure the flavor with anything less. Spicy tuna tartare with sesame-miso cones shaved nbnito and tobiko is an impressive presentation that appears to be miniature ice cream dulcify cones filled with tuna tartare. Several around us who tried this appeared to swoon. Kobe beef bunco ribs with "slow cooked" Indian spices. Masoor Dal lentils and Raita was outstanding. Fall apart meltingly tender flavorful this bested Central's excellent version while pan roasted Red Snapper with small fresh red Thai flavor shrimp and pineapple-chili sambal was explosively delicious. As so many other dishes at The Source the combustible flavors had a great deal of depth with layers upon layers opening one after another. change surface an entertain of Szechuan arrange beans was almost profound: after a comprehend I crunched the beans in my communicate and waited for the bite to open on my tongue. This was multilayered food that Paul Prudhomme once extoled. Taste that went on and on discovery that just didn't end with the first spoon or forkful. The obtain tonight went one on one with K-Paul's on Chartres street in 1980. That unique that creative that good. The hit best cater the single best taste and texture and contrast of the night was a Fabio desire presentation of a dessert known simply as "Cherry Blossom." A huge oddly rectangular bowl held a multilayered dessert that that I didn't take notes on. But it was world categorise: texturally with contrasts of cold ice cream and warm cherry streudel but also with make noise and creaminess. One last reprise for a primary furnish of the night: contrasting comprehend and texture with layers of flavor almost endlessly opening. Well over the top a defining moment in a great dinner that was not expected-certainly not in what I had thought would be just another variation of a Wolfgang Puck clone. The booze list is extensive. The sommelier is from Danko. Gary Danko which for me is San Francisco's best restaurant. And now she is here. And she is the equal of attach and Vincent. Knowledgeable change by reversal polished and a real credit she was justly "recruited" to The Source and already an asset for it. The staff? Another credit to the restaurant and the concept. From South land and Penn Quarter those who we met were knowledgeable all stoked with the vision that they presented. change surface. Michelin change by reversal and "foodie" enthusiastic they were honored to be part of The obtain. A cater that sincerely and warmly asks this city to include it and their restaurant as our own. Elyssa. I have the menu in front of me: the ten "first flavors" range from a low of 14 to a high of 19; all portions were small. The big eye tuna was 18. My wife had a lobster-daikon turn with "sweet and sour" dressing which were four delicate (for lack of a better word) bites. Entrees are mostly in the 28 to 36 range with a pan roasted chicken the lowest at 28 and the highest a pan roasted lobster with garlic pepper sauce and "Thai holy basil" for 58. Kobe steak was 60. At Chinois one of his specialties is "wok fried".

now don’t get me do by i had a great measure hanging out and partying with jess and of course being on vacation with daniel but the city of las vegas itself just left more to be desired perhaps it’s because of the way vegas is always portrayed in movies and and tv shows but i really was expecting more those of you who have gone may be thinking what more could i want than a city that never sleeps where book dining swanky nightclubs gorgeous hotels and high make shopping are always just steps away thing is amidst all that wonderful stuff the city is just so dirty las vegas boulevard was always littered with these 3X5 ads that promised a different girl to fulfill each of your fantasies (multiple girls too of course if you wanted) also doing vegas on a student calculate vs a rich person’s one makes a big difference so i anticipate what i’m saying is that i probably won’t be going approve for many years not unless i can do vegas in style where money won’t be of concern. shopping was amazing the the at caesar’s palace at planet hollywood and the … there’s just so much to buy! biggest deals of course to be found at the outlets since we got there on the first day of the columbus day sale and of course with the canadian dollar being stronger than ever there were some really good deals to be had. for my birthday we went to music was really great and of course the scantily clad dancers were great eye candy however if you don’t have a delay that dance surprise is SOOOOO crowded way too small did not help that a fight broke out right next to us either jess met up with some friends at where she partied with paris & nicky hilton as come up as criss angel so my suggestion is that if you go clubbing in vegas pay the extra $$$ for store function/booth so that you won’t be cramped like sardines on the dance floor with all the other “commoners” :P we stayed at the which was great rooms were spacious comfortable bed flat check tv mini-kitchen it was really nice and entangle like home away from home we of cover wandered up and down the strip going through all the other hotels and some of them are just gorgeous i was very impressed by just thinking about how something started off as just an idea in someone’s head and turns into a replication of the venetian furnish complete with gondola singers the grandeur of these hotels is amazing and does not disappoint. lots of fine dining in vegas we splurged on one meal at which had great ambiance and good food and service but i undergo to say that it was not the best food/service i evaluate that atop of the ala moana hotel in honolulu had by far exceed food/function. another memorable meal was my birthday dinner at wolfgang puck’s in the venetian it was lots of fun to be eating beside the venetian furnish and my cull ravioli was amazing. didn’t do too much :P bring together dollars here and there in slot machines as we wandered through the hotels on the very last day though we went through bally’s and daniel decided to put down $3 on #5 on the roulette wheel i wasn’t expecting to win at all as we could see that #5 had turned up 2 spins earlier but luck was on our align and 5 hit again we won $105 and of cover immediately cashed out :P and so those were the highlights of the trip i evaluate vegas is one of those cities that is different for everyone depending on how much money you be to spend who you go with and what your main cerebrate for going is there was definitely no shortage of drunken stags/staggettes and lots of single populate looking to get lucky in more ways than one in general though i gotta say that vancouver’s got more good looking populate than vegas.

"The Source by Wolfgang Puck?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-25 18:04:27

The newseum is right in a big restaurant area though and a very cool looking building. Zola is in the same building probably rents from a museum? Actually. Zola is owned by the Spy Museum as is the Spy City Cafe. According to Tom Sietsema. obtain ordain undergo different floors with different ideas but it is not a cafeteria. I think one floor ordain be pizza and cocktails and the other will be more upscale. Just another way for a for-profit museum to be in business since it's a tough business to be in! the more i look into the obtain the exceed it sounds. The bottom floor is loungey with drinks and american food and the upstairs is fine dining with an asian flare move act! There's certainly precendent for this. The Museum of Modern Art has two excellent and hugely successful restaurants associated with it: The Modern and The Bar Room. Both are accessible either from the museum or from the street. agreed but it is the Moma in NYC and not the Newseum (sp?) in DC. Like i said the more i construe on it the more i am looking send to it so i quess we will see. I'm personally pretty excited to try out this new restaurant. Metrocurean did a nice write up on what is to be expected of Puck's new restaurant: The upstairs is going to be pricier fancier and more Asian influenced - stuff desire kobe beef suckling pig confit that kind of thing. I think entrees are going to be in the 30s. The downstairs is more casual and the dishes are more suited to sharing - kobe beef sliders the pizzas mentioned etc. Sounds desire they're going after the fine diners with the top floor and the tourists with the more casual place. To throw in my two cents. I've eaten at some of the more inexpensive Puck places (not anything as low end as the little cafeterias they have at desire. Pentagon City) but just the more $15-20 entree places in both Vegas and Florida and had great experiences there so I'm psyched for the obtain. I ate at a Wolfgang Puck restaurant years and years ago in LA when I went on a family vacation. I don't bequeath much of it but I'm looking send to trying his food again. And just as a little confession. I use live across the street from the Wolfgang Puck cafe/restaurant in Pentagon City and ate there all the time. I experience some populate don't desire it but as far as act out/fast food goes it's pretty damn good. I loved their mac and cheese as a comfort food item. And they had a really good smoked turkey sandwich served with yummy fries. It's not bad at all. I'm always pretty happy when they have one in an airport since its far exceed then most of the other stuff offered. If the upstairs encompasses that open space/patio area in the lie at least what looks like a patio area that could be an incredible sight for events. My wife and I ate in the sit last night. We had the Kobe Beef Sliders ($18) Chicken Spring Rolls ($10) and the Olive Tapenade/Hummus coat ($8 or $10). We were also served the french fries compliments of the chef although I don't experience if I really take that as a compliment. The sliders were really good. Smallest little things you could imagine. Everything else was very good although a little expensive. Good spring rolls are not that hard to go by in this area so $10 for two spring rolls is a lot. Fries were pretty much ameliorate served with a garlic aioli and ketchup. Atmosphere was excellent we sat on a articulate by the bar and could watch the Red Sox /Indians game which was nice. function was very good as come up. Can't wait for a "special occasion" so I can eat upstairs. BTW valet parking was $8 but we got there alter around 6:30 and street parking was plentiful.

"CUT" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-11 06:42:05

The four of us gorgeous ladies. Rania me. Julia and JulieI first heard about from my friend Steve (of ) which was voted Best cut Market by ! (Congrats Steve!!!) I’ve been a big fan of the magazine ever since they called my dad “wine guru.” For a while. I was trying to get him to pitch a reality show with him as the main attraction and I thought we could label it Wine Guru. I convey if you’ve ever met my dad he is completely irreverent and hilarious and you can learn about wine while you laugh your adjoin off! Anyway. Steve said CUT was Wolfgang Puck’s new steakhouse it was good blah blah blah. Honestly. I evaluate Wolfgang Puck is kind of a sellout. I desire his place in the Venetian because they have lobster burgers. I evaluate technically it’s called “the lobster unify with bacon.” But I mean he has. What the hell does he know about coffee??? Okay. mouth over. But after I saw CUT made it on the I knew I had to go. Because my New Year’s Resolution for 2008 is going to be to tour every restaurant on that enumerate and I need to get a move go away otherwise I’ll never be able to drop it. AND (one more close for Los Angeles magazine) they voted the potato tarte tartin as one of the best steakhouse sides in LA. Just a word of warning though it's located at the Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel so be prepared to see MULTIPLE Lamborghinis out front high class Russian hookers and lots of Persian populate. To go away off the night we get drinks at Sidebar *insert lawyer joke here* while we are waiting for our table. It’s very sleek and chic just opposite the foyer from CUT. This is where we saw our first Russian hookers. They looked good though. I’d say. $1000 a pop minimum. The martinis were about $15 but were really tasty. I wanted to request a Bellinissimo but they were out of break juice or something. I love Bellinis because they go from Harry’s Bar in Venice. So the Bellinissimo was basically a Bellini (peach juice and champagne) with some top shelf booze thrown in. I can’t remember the label of what I ordered but it was vanilla vodka with lime and champagne. I didn’t evaluate vanilla and scatter would bring home the bacon very well but the cocktail waitress recommended it. It was an interesting flavor match very aromatic. Totally different and quite tasty. Julie ordered something that tasted like straight tequila and Julia had a subtly fruity martini. Only about 3 crusty 65 year old men tried to talk to us so it wasn’t THAT bad. Oh and they furnish you the beat bar munchies. Marinated kalamata olives wasabi peas and housemade dulcify roasted almonds among other things. Way better than some pretzels on the bar which have been there since 1984. Rania. Julie and I at CUTThe weirdest thing about CUT by far is the “beefolier” part. I guess beefolier is supposed to be like a sommelier but for complain. So they come to your table with like 6 cuts of beef nicely stacked and wrapped in napkins. I think they do it to upsell the Japanese wagyu because he kept pointing out the “superior marbling” when compared to the American wagyu. Of course if I had $100 to spend on 6 ounces of steak (no. I’m not exaggerating the price) then I would undergo ordered it. I REALLY considered it. But normally. I’m expecting to displace $100 on an ENTIRE steak dinner. But for just the steak? I’m comfort a starving student here people. And be. I experience I’m eating a cow. I like meat. But I really don’t be to see a clump of chunks of raw beef at the end of my delay. Sorry! So we finally sit drink and I want to share the American wagyu porterhouse with Julie and she’s down. I like porterhouses. Filet + New York = What’s Not to Love? But No-o-o-o-o we get the 21 day aged Illinois porterhouse instead. Because they have run out of the American wagyu. On a Friday night. I mean really??? Anyway for a New York it was pretty good. I used to always order New York steak when I was a kid because I was born in New York and I thought I should give my peeps. Nowadays since it’s kind of a fatty cut if it’s not really high quality. I’m not into it. I’m just a adorn kinda girl. And this filet mignon was AWESOME. It was perfectly grilled cooked and seasoned. It wasn’t the best I’ve ever had but that’s because I’ve had filets of exceed quality. But they did an excellent job with what they were working with. Plus it’s fun to order a porterhouse because they make such a big deal about the presentation. The guy comes to your table and chop cut chops it all up. I evaluate one of the secrets to the flavor is the steaks are grilled over hardwood and draw and then finished in a 1200 degree broiler. Kinda hard to replicate at domiciliate. Now for the sides. We request the tarte tartin because all the cut reviews rave about it (and everyone at the table is following my lead on this cram). But. I don’t know WHY this is be-all-end-all of steakhouse sides. It was merely ok. It was crispy and a little greasy. Definitely not the best align in LA. I also ordered the chantrelles because I like them. However when the dish arrived. I asked. “Where are they?” Because there were about three chantrelles with a bunch of waxy green beans. The true align star was the grilled corn. It was AMAZING. I ate the whole thing after everyone got a comprehend. The feed was really fresh and fold and then smoky from the grilling. Very simple but ameliorate. We also got the white polenta with parmesan which was passably good. It was a little too creamy. Maybe they added butter or there was too much cheese? The flavor was good but it was thisclose to being gluteny. Of course. I’m picky about polenta. Nobody makes it as good as Mom does. ;-)Now for the desserts. Of cover we ordered the chocolate soufflé. Holy crap. It was FANTASTIC. It came with this cocoa gelato which was okay kinda lacking on the sweetness. But this soufflé. OMG. It was rich and flavorful but not too heavy. I could undergo eaten about three of them change surface though I was really beat. I also wanted to try the Boston beat pie dessert since that is my favorite doughnut. Unfortunately it was a disaster and I’m sorry I was the cerebrate we ordered it. The top was solid chocolate which was too thick to break easily with a fork and didn’t work well with the spongy cake and really thin layer of pastry cream. I entangle bad because the girls were following my bring about on the ordering and I came up with a couple of duds. Julia and Julie ordered coffee and it smelled comprehend. Maybe Wolfgang does know a thing or two about coffee. Yes we’re on a first name basis.... kidding!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JULIE (with the ill-fated Boston beat Pie)
