When eating out, I always like to try something that you'd never make at home (which is why an animal-style cheeseburger with fries and a Neapolitan shake is my meal of choice). This time I enjoyed Wild Arugula & Fennel Salad, Parmigiano-Regggiano, Meyer Lemon Olive Oil while Hannah had the Soup de Jour (all food tastes better if it's named in French), then she followed up with Pan-Roasted Local Petrel Sole, Rutabaga Purée, Brussels sprouts, Pancetta, White Balsamic & Caper Brown Butter while I had the Chef’s Choice Sushi Rolls Medley. And in my professional restaurant critic style, I can tell you that it was all extremely tasty.
Of course, the danger of going for a cheap meal is all the little extra treats you decide you can afford because you're paying so little for your main course! After we threw in the Basil-Cucumber Gimlet and Joie de Vivre cocktails before food arrived and finished up with a Creme Brulee Trio, the bill was looking considerably larger than the portion sizes. Back to In 'n' Out next time.
Something while you peruse the menu?
Hannah celebrates a Friday off work the way she celebrates everything.
Creme Brulee, always dangerous.
The real sign of a great meal.
