BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION DINNER: LOS ANGELES!!!
Even more incredible than the birthday dinner(s) we had in Cleveland was the supper at Craft in Century City when we returned from Ohio. Yep, this is Top Chef major domo Tom Colicchio’s new place, and it was magnificent. I guess I’m turning into a foodie—I am really getting into fine cuisine. It’s the ultimate in handmade, artisanal craft, man! Richmond and I enjoyed an appetizer of peekytoe crab with avocado and another with seared foie gras and quince. We had a beet salad with super yummy gorgonzola (and I am *not* a cheese lover). Main courses were braised Australian Wagyu beef cheeks and also scrumptious short ribs with cipollini onions. The dessert (pictured below) was a plate of freshly made donuts served with their donut holes and a variety of incredible sauces… mmm, donuts.
