mfk. cancelled our reservation for our anniversary dinner on Saturday for kitchen repairs or something. Sounded bogus.
Made a last minute reservation at Andros Taverna and it was honestly fantastic. One of the best meals I've had in years. That octopus is unreal and the $28 gyro is absurdly priced but it's worth it tbh.

Smoque Steak was really nice last night. I'm not a big steak person so the special of 3 filet medallions with different toppings (mushrooms/blue cheese butter and fried shallots/red wine reduction) was perfect for me. They lightly smoke, sous vide and then reverse sear so it was really melt in your mouth, perfectly done and the smoke wasn't overwhelming at all. Ribeye and NY strip were also good, as were the sides. The bananas foster bread pudding was phenomenal and I say that as someone who never cared for the bread pudding at Smoque. Very chill and unfussy vibe too. I'd go back.

I had a bunch of friends in town for MMJ and took them to Monteverde for lunch on Friday. Everyone loved it and as we were leaving, one of the owners came out and chatted with us a bit, and mentioned that Patrick, the drummer for MMJ, had been there for dinner a few days before (weirdly I've run into Patrick at a few restaurants - Hartwood in Tulum, Frankie's in Brooklyn - and it's always a sign that we're about to have a great meal).
Fast forward to Saturday night, as I arrive at the venue I run into an old friend from LA. We were roommates for the Terminal 5 run back in 2010, then I hadn't seen him for years and years, until we reconnected at Red Rocks last year. I had no idea he was coming to town for the shows. He's just arrived with the Monteverde owner, who is his brother in law.

The pumpkin/Japanese curry sourdough from Loaf Lounge is gooooood. Bringing to Thanksgiving for sure.

We talked about Kumas in this thread a month ago. Started as very valid shit talking about how stupid their burgers are iirc and evolved into everyone talking about how much they like the mac and cheese. I thought for sure a board does sleep burger and mac night was inevitable based on the tenor of the conversation.

Update: I got delivery mac and cheese from them last night (+broccoli, garlic and grilled chicken) and it was terrible. Kuma's now dead to me.

The Sleep burger was good. I walked to carols and let out a big yawn on my half way stop at long room

You walked to Carol's from Kuma's? That's pretty impressive.

yes, I'd say if you liked CMJ you'll be happy, maybe they just need to go back to the lab on the cured seafood.
We spent maybe $100 a head after booze tax tip (cocktail and glass of wine each) but if you wanted a half smoked chicken, the burger, and some small plates I think that would be an awesome meal too.
They need to bring the salmon heads back, that shit slapped.

I heard the chef there is problematic but no idea how/why?
They are getting roasted in a reddit thread (honestly seems like the posters have pretty high expectations for a place that's barely been open a week but also if the place is run by industry vets it's a pretty poor look, like bringing out a tray of oysters and some of them are empty shells? I would be so grossed out)

I am problematic too you don't see me being crucified on reddit.
I think the original poster is a Karen but it seems easy enough to not get into it with people in the DMs from the business account if you fucked up their meal. Not a huge deal imo, my experience on Sunday wasn't like this at all. Want to say they were pretty efficient with our meal.. maybe out in an hour twenty?
It's a soft opening, shit happens.

Ugh on an unrelated note we had planned to get the Parson's Thanksgiving spread (bc my dude got Covid so we can't be with my family and I hadn't really planned ahead to cook a whole Thanksgiving this year) but they are sold out, what are some other options? It looks like Bar Roma may still have a Thanksgiving for two available. I guess I have some potatoes, cranberries and a chicken in the freezer if we have to DIY it.

I've been getting emails about One Off Hospitality having Thanksgiving to go available still ....not sure if they do it for 2 people though. |

Thanks, it seems like they're mostly sold out. You can still get a turkey through Publican but we honestly don't need a whole turkey.
Appreciate the help just the same!
