Cephalopod

Cephalopod (9/123)

  1. Fiola is not inexpensive, but there are few (if any) restaurants in the country more worthy of the cost. My full report with photos is here.
  2. I should check here more often. A well-deserved congrats to Chef Conte, one of the most under-heralded chefs in the country! Glad to hear that The Oval room is maintaining its standards and I'm very happy that I had one more chance to eat there under Chef Conte in October.
  3. I recently (October) organized a small group dinner at CityZen. They did a tremendous job making us comfortable and assuring that we had a great time. My full report with photos is here.
  4. Gerry, with all of these outlandish rules, how did you all manage to have any fun? --- In all seriousness, Gerry, what area of Spain do you consider the most under-rated and why? --- I know some people who are reluctant to travel to Spain now because they are concerned about the economic conditions there. Is there any validity to those concerns from a traveler's perspective? --- BTW, also flattered to be mentioned in your bio
  5. Had lunch at Boqueria today - just a few tapas. The first two, the tortilla Española and the croquetas were just ok. Jaleo's croquetas, earlier in the week, were much better. The restaurant was redeemed though by the setas and the gambas al ajillo, both of which were quite good. I enjoyed the gambas more than those at Jaleo, as the ones at Jaleo, I felt were too sweet for my preference. These were more purely olive oil, garlic and pimentón. On the whole, I preferred Jaleo, but Boqueria was still quite good.
  6. Hello Everyone! i'm new to posting on DonRockwell.com, but I'm not new to posting, having been on eGullet somewhat in the past. I live in upstate NY and love to travel, dine, write and photograph. I have a blog, Docsconz: Musings on Food & Life, to which I devote considerable time.
