my birthday isn't until tuesday, but my parents are leaving the country tomorrow for some vacay time, so we did my birthday dinner tonight at suzanne goin's the hungry cat in hollywood. last year for my birthday, we went to her other restaurant lucques. both are really good! but i really like the hungry cat as it is primarily seafood, and everything tasted really great. even my parents didn't have anything to complain about!
we had:
appetizers
_a dozen oysters
_a dozen littleneck clams
_razor clam ceviche with fresno chili, cilantro, white soy and chili paste
_abalone with kelp puree, daikon radish and shiitake mushrooms
main
_pan roasted striped bass with root vegetable hash, black trumpet mushrooms, red wine butter
_diver scallops and pork cheeks with grits, peas, walnuts, mustard jus
_pan roasted halibut with fava bean puree, morels, fingerling potatoes, asparagus, olive relish
dessert
_chocolate bread and butter pudding
_meyer lemon curd parfait
it really was a great, great dinner. and now the only suzanne goin restaurant i haven't eat at is AOC - i guess i know where i'm going for my birthday dinner next year!
