I mean, I was even able to sweat through Saks whilst convicing Lady V she needed to buy two pairs of J Brand JEGGINGS (a word she hates) and explain to Beej that she didn't need that overpriced slash gorgeous Elie Tahari purse.. (Yes,you read that correctly, Elie Tahari has designed a crave-worthy satchel.)
The weekend with the ladies was beyond fun... I miss you two already!
BREAKFAST: Gruyere Fromage and Olive Crackers
LUNCH: Melon's with the ladies...
 |
| JG Melon's - Bacon Cheddar Burger Usually I don't got all out at Melon's however I hadn't been since 'Nam and figured I was on a gluttonous role, why hold back now? |
 |
| Melon's - Signature Cottage Fries The fries at Melon's are the best... They are the perfect size to be dipped in BBQ and Mayo.. So gross and fattening but in reality, SO DAMN GOOD! |
As this was Beej' first time, we tasted a little bit of everything. We started with Mushroom Risotto, Foie Gras and Tomato Mozzarella... I think it's safe to say, everyone loved the Mushroom Risotto.... The foie gras was mostly enjoyed by The Truth and me... and the Tomato Mozzarella, while very tasty, was sorta the red-headed step child of the other two.
 |
| Bilboquet - Mushroom Risotto |
 |
| Bilboquet - Foie Gras I never understand why the bread to Foie Gras ration is always off.... For this amount of Foie Gras, I'd say you need at least triple the toasted bread. |
 |
| Bilboquet - Tomato Mozzarella |
 |
| Bilboquet - Filet Mignon with Bernaise and Frites The Truth and I split this... I think it was too raw for her as she barely had a bite. I, on the other hand, did not mind the fact that our meat was more rare than medium rare, as we had ordered it. |
 |
| Bilboquet - Poulet Cajun Both Lady V and Beej ordered the Poulet Cajun... I think when Beej, who is basically a decade shy of 40, has her 40th birthday there (as she proclaimed she would) she'll order this again. |
 |
| Bilboquet - Our hodge podge of left-overs. |
 |
| Bilboquet - Creme Brulee |
 |
| Bilboquet - Chocolate Pudding |
After a night of Bilboquet and Black&White bar, we were a little late to start the day. Taxi cab confession, we actually didn't motivate to brunch until 3pm.. and by the time the food was in front of us, we were too sick or hungover to eat... It was bad news bears all around but in true Hobart rocker style, we were able to get our sh*t together so we could shop Soho and hit GDubb's pubcrawl.
BREAKFAST: Liquiteria
LUNCH: I had like five bites of the Fried Calamari at The Smith
DINNER: GDubbs had Dim Sum GoGo cater his party.. I had bits and pieces of that..
 |
| Liquiteria's - Liquid Lozenge and The Killer Lady V picked these up for me so I could deal with my life. I woke up a hot mess and figured the only way I'd be able to handle shopping all day in Soho would be if I had some healthy juice. |
Somehow GDubbs found the only Irish pub in Chinatown, Whiskey Tavern.... I managed to be the only person on the crawl not drinking beer... I went with the White Russian instead. It went quite well with the mozzarella sticks someone on the crawl ordered.....
 |
| The best thing to happen to Beej and I during the pubcrawl.... Mozzarella Sticks. |
 |
| GDubbs' Chinese Themed Fete... Let's discuss the fact that he went to Pearl River Market to get decorations for the party. There was even a Bruce Lee poster in each of this bathrooms. |
 |
| The Dragon Double Luge |
 |
| GDubbs' fridge full of beer.... |
