What's for Dinner #46 - the June Is Busting Out All Over Edition - June 2019

Those look wonderful even BEFORE they are cooked! How much per pound, and why? I imagine they are treated well, as are the folks who raise them.

I’ve got two fresh pinapples from Hawaii!

Higher welfare French fine poultry are free-range, free of antibiotic and very strictly regulated. They taste good and are worth the price.

If you ever come across Bresse poultry do try it at least once.

So in reality
it was pedestrian, take away ? you did not actually sit and eat it at Hatties B?..

I did not.

Can it be pedestrian if you arrive via Lyft?

The line was wicked, and the experience seemed extremely popular, but was not what I might have looked for, if I had time.

Big Al’s might have been closer to my hotel, but I couldn’t figure it out, and the internet says it’s not open Sunday.

In my defense, the experience I would have wanted, if not take away, would have been Bolton’s or Prince’s.

But I needed to coordinate conference agenda, hotel check out, Lyft, hot chicken, and connecting flights to Sacramento. Hattie B’s made it possible. Good business model.

Turns out my daughter and my sister are headed there shortly, so any hints will be appreciated.

grazie!

that is a gorgeous salad


Last meal for June was another (belated) birthday dinner, a generous treat from a friend who couldn’t be there at the original celebration.

Lovely French meal - gougeres, salmon rillettes, three cheese soufflé, halibut with broccoli nage and spicy chard, and branzino simply grilled with salad. Phew.

The absolute star of the meal, though, was dessert - we opted for two scoops of house made ice cream - chocolate and brown butter. DIVINE. The chocolate was intensely chocolate-y and rich, but not dark or bitter. The brown butter blew my mind - I couldn’t place the flavor memory for a while, and then it hit me - it tasted exactly like indian rasmalai, which are ricotta dumplings soaked in thickened milk, and out of this world when done right. If you haven’t eaten it, my other flavor comparison was fior di latte gelato - but if the purity of flavor was of cream rather than milk.

I’m dreaming of the next time I can eat this ice cream
