In Saveur Magazine Jan/Feb issue is a 4pg spread on Tommaso's in Brooklyn doing an annual Italian (Venice) Carnival dinner(s) which I never knew they did.....went last night for a full old Nebbiolo cellar raid (1952, 1955, 1974, 1985) and the place was jumping, food best I have ever had....I will be coming every year!!
quick eating notes on australia trip:
- when you get fish and chips, the main fish is "flake" - it's shark. get it. it's fantastic.
- "butterfish" is steak-y, like swordfish, but much milder, and actually does taste like butter. get it. it's fantastic.
- get thai food anywhere. thailand ain't too far away. it's fantastic.
- so's the vietnamese although the thai's better.
- guess how the $4 red table wine is. you got it. no one seems to ever really need to spend $15+ since the cheap wine's so frickin good.
- the beef's grass-fed. it's fantastic.
- on the down note, i had some grilled kangaroo which was liver-ish and unspectacular. why bother. stick with the fish.
