Mission Impossible 4…blah blah blah…Tom Cruise replacement…blah bla– what?! BRAD BIRD is directing? The same Brad Bird who directed some of the finest animated films to grace the silver screen?
Oh, this was only PART of my dinner at Secco tonight.
This is the speck-wrapped hanger steak with charred local vegetables (field peas, I think, and carrots, squash, zucchini, and green beans), shaved summer truffles, and summer truffle sauce.
Uh-mazing.
Also, try the sea urchin dish. It’ll rock your mouth’s world.
Sufjan Stevens has released a new EP called All Delighted People, and you can listen to the whole thing for free on Bandcamp (or at the bottom of this post)! From there you can buy the entire EP for five bucks, or you can wait until next week to digitally purchase it elsewhere. Or you can wait until later this year to snag a physical copy.
I found it interesting that Five Guys recently won the ranking of “best fast food burger” in the US from Zagat.
I’m not upset about that, either. They’re from Virginia, the patties are thin so they get a little crispy and extra brown, and the burger buns are pretty tasty, too. But it reminds me. The full name of the restaurant is Five Guys Burgers and Fries, and I know plenty of people in different parts of the country who also love their fries.
But I hate them.
They’re always a little too soggy and way undersalted. I don’t want a salt lick instead of french fries, but I do want my fries to have at least a few crystals of sodium chloride across their collective surface. What is it about these fries that you folks love so much? What am I missing?
