That actually looks beautifully delicious! I m wary of sauces of any kind, so I probably would have

"Roughing it" isn't my idea of travel. If I'm not going to be staying in a really nice place and dining well, I'd really rather stay home! On a recent trip to Los Angeles, I had the pleasure of having brunch in Culina Restaurant at the Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills . Didn't stay there though (maybe someday ... over the rainbow ... sigh ), just spent a leisurely couple of hours in Culina, thanks to a gift certificate for Sunday Brunch airstream travel trailers in texas for Two.
And what a brunch it was! I've never been a big buffet brunch kinda gal. I can't eat much at one sitting, so it's kind of wasted on me. And I have a tendency to get overwhelmed by all the choices and just get three things. But since this is no ordinary airstream travel trailers in texas brunch buffet and it was going to be an opportunity to try many different dishes, I came up with a strategy . To sample many things without stuffing myself or wasting food--two things I hate--I would definitely airstream travel trailers in texas need a plan! I decided a two-bite serving size would be about right.
Culina airstream travel trailers in texas is famous for its crudo bar (an Italian take on the sushi bar), so I assumed raw fish would be on the menu. I don't eat raw fish or meat, so I could eliminate that entire category. Perhaps I would try up to three cooked fish dishes, three meats, three poultry, three pastas, one egg dish, nine vegetables and salads, three fruits, three desserts. Hmm ... 28 foods times two bites each equals 56 bites ... sounds like a normal meal.
Well, I wasn't counting on the dim sum station! Or the cheese station! As if I needed to even know about another wonderful high-fat cheese. Saint Andre is a soft, buttery cow's milk cheese made with extra heavy (triple) cream. Of course, there was an omelet station, Belgian waffles, bacon and sausages. The carving station had prime rib, lamb and pork.
I focused on the vegetables and salads (As you can tell from the photo, airstream travel trailers in texas we couldn't be bothered to "compose" our plates!) and particularly enjoyed the heirloom eggplant, heirloom squash ... well, you get the idea. I steered clear of the breads because I'm a hopeless breadaholic, though I did allow myself one tiny piece of focaccia to go with the eggplant.
If I could offer one suggestion it would be to make the food labels/signs a bit larger with larger type. Nobody wants to have to put their reading airstream travel trailers in texas glasses on to go through a buffet. Two things that really impressed me: Used plates and flatware were promptly removed and clean flatware set. And when I ordered my tea (which was very good, by the way), the server asked if I would like milk for it. I know, those seem such simple things, but they are often neglected. It's a pity they don't do afternoon tea; I'm sure they would do it well.
All the food you describe sounds wonderful airstream travel trailers in texas and I know I would enjoy the experience. So, when you and your husband come over here you won t be coming for a pub lunch or fish and chips in a seaside fish and chip shop with Marilyn and I then. There are some great culinary delights to be had in the more rough and ready places too. Well that s what Marilyn and I keep telling each other. Jean, I love your report. You are a very entertaining writer on the subject of food.I airstream travel trailers in texas could almost taste it!!!!!!!!!
Well, I gained 6 lbs reading your review (which is okay, I guess, since I lost 7 lbs roller airstream travel trailers in texas skiing in 122 heat index). That does sound good. I, too, would defer bread from the quota so as to accommodate other items. And -- are you sitting down? -- I would probably head for the veggies. Food of that calibre preparation always induces me to accept health considerations. BUT...the carnivore bar and the desserts would not suffer neglect. Thanks for the virtual meal. I shall now go exercise...
Tony, thank you so much! Encouraging airstream travel trailers in texas words. And we would be most happy to join you and Marilyn for a simple pub lunch or takeaway from your favorite chippy. When I say dining well I don t necessarily mean expensively!
That actually looks beautifully delicious! I m wary of sauces of any kind, so I probably would have asked them to omit the sauce. But all those gorgeous colors and textures! I was at a restaurant last summer where the waiter was going on and on about their heirloom tomatoes airstream travel trailers in texas until I mentioned that I grew heirloom tomatoes. You d think they were something recently discovered, that only the most upscale restaurants know about. lol
