Is there anything better than b-day eats??? The correct answer is a loud and resounding NO! This year my celebration feasting started on Saturday with me and my gal pals Jenny, Lily and Rhonda. We went to Top Chef's Fabio's Oseteria Firenze in Toluca Lake. I had the ravioli with braised short ribs and the meat was tender and juicy and sits inside gigantic homemade ravioli. Of the three desserts we had: chocolate flourless cake, limocello cheesecake and panna cotta, the panna cotta was my fave! Oh, the bread and tapenade were quite tasty as well. They do starches and carbs right over at that joint. It was a fine evening with the gals. I think we were there for a good three hours.
Sunday as a birthday gift to myself, I went to hear the LAPhil. You have to be rich to go to the LAPhil. I paid almost 120 clams and it wasn't even an orchestra seat. It was Level 4 in the Terrace! This is why only old people support the arts. They're practically the only people who can afford to.
The celebration continued today with a work buddy taking me to Ramenya where I had curry ramen. The coup de grace was b-day dinner at Sugarfish where I had an email offer for a free dinner. Free and sushi, two things that I friggin adore. Put the two together and the magic scales mythic heights. It's as good as galloping on unicorns over rainbows and finding pots of gold on the other end. The bro and I then went for dessert next door at Suzanne Goin's Tavern where I had carrot cake and the bro had apple pie ice cream. I was so full I can barely move.
DineLA starts in 2 weeks so I have 2 weeks to recover before indulging again. This is an auspicious start to 2011.
