GFJ (316) One martini too many.....

I'm fairly certain I've had 15 martini's in four days... My fingers are now swollen, my cheekbones are barely visible and all I want right now is a bloody mary and a burger from Melon's...

Last night, RST, CoCo and I had dinner with Beej at Gramery Tavern. Kindly, KAGE went in beforehand and put our name on the list for the Tavern room (they don't take reservations and Kage lives across the street).

Let's just say, as we were waiting for Beej to get in from the airport, I threw back three martini's..If it weren't for the fact that I took the pictures, I might not remember that we shared the oysters, pastrami, sweetbreads (which the waitress kindly sent us as she knew Coco was gluten free) and fish croquette...



Dozen Raw Oysters... the Green stuff was Sake marinated Cucumbers. YUM!

Fish Croquette


Heirloom Beans, Arugula and Lemon

Sweetbreads


Squash, Shisito Peppers and Mushroom Purée

Pastrami with Cauliflower

Smoked Kielbasa

Fingerling Potatoes, Sauerkraut and Grain Mustard

Chef’s Selection of Farmstead Cheeses:
Is it weird that one of the fromage's tasted like a Buffalo Chicken Wing?

Chocolate Pudding


Salted Caramel and Brioche Croutons
