Stay Tuned...Fabulous Food Weekend Ahead!

This evening I am flying up to SF to hang with Emilia. In addition to some lovely spa time at our favorite spa in Japan town and a hearty hike in the Muir Woods with friends, we have two very exciting foodie items planned. The first is dinner at Sebo, which supposedly has a rocking omakase. Cross your fingers for us that we make it to the sushi bar! They have no website that I know of but you can get some info here:

Second is dinner at one of Em's friends' houses. He's a really amazing guy with tons of friends and a passion for gourmet food. Once a month he hosts dinners and those lucky enough to get invited are welcomed into his beautiful Berkeley home and enticed with a multi-course themed menu and incredible wine. (One of the more memorable dinners I attended was AIOLI themed. There was an entire course of tasty things to dunk in the creamiest, most ridiculous homemade aioli ever. Wow.)

Everybody crowds into his living room, which he packs with big tables. I went a couple of times in law school. For anyone who has ever aspired to throw a dinner party, this lovely man and his fabulous feasts are inspiration! He also predicates each dinner with an incredible email that describes, in excruciating detail, each of the courses including notes on the various super-fresh ingredients he is incorporating based on what he finds at the market, as well as different cooking methods. The emails are as vivid as they are drool-inducing.

So, stay tuned!
