Ok with all the CEO’s eating burgers on video, most of which don’t look super great (the burgers, not the CEO’s) I’d like to reshare my burger from last week 😂

Very impressed with the Verano knives yesterday. Split 5 large lobsters, skinned a pineapple, diced produce for salsa, and chopped herbs. Knives are wicked sharp, unusual so honestly. Big fan.

Dinner on my own at the bar overlooking the pizza station at Heritage in Ft Lauderdale. As Sarah would say, as “James Walker” meal. A Negroni, MAFALDINE BOLOGNESE with house-made mafaldine with veal, wagyu beef + pork bolognese. And their MEATBALL Pizza with tomato sauce, wagyu beef/veal/pork meatball, whipped ricotta, fresh mozzarella, fontina + provolone. Well worthy of the their Michelin Bib Gourmand reco. High energy, great food, highly recommend. Chef told me all Pizzas are all twice cooked, once at 900F and then they rest, and then finished at 575F to crisp the bottom. Never seen this before, but it absolutely works!

First time back at Babbo since Starr took over, last time I was here Mario Batali was still at the helm. Started with the Tagliatelle Tartufi with fresh Tuscan white truffles paired with the 2011 Barolo Renzo Seghesio, 'Ginestra.’ I’ve had Tagliatelle Tartufi at numerous high end Italian places in NYC, this was my least favorite, the best? Santi hands down. Babbo’s version seemed to still be swimming in Pasta Water, and not a lot of flavor. While the pasta was good not great, the Barolo exceeded my expectations. Followed with their 100 Layer Lasagne with parmigiano-reggiano crema, bolognese, Pugliese tomato marinara. Last time I had this was at Mario’s Del Posto. The portion at Babbo is family style for 4ppl, presentation is amazing. Was probably the only dish I remember loving at Del Posto, and was better here, by a ways! Paired tonight with the 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Mulinari, 'L'Aietta.’ Both the wine and Lasagna 10/10. Pure indulgence and flavor 💣! A must have. Currently my favorite lasagna in #NYC. Vibe and energy still very much as it was under Mario. I felt the service was better, friendlier, than prior, and food quality very similar maybe a little better than my prior visit. Fun place with a group, lots of energy and “vibe.” Overall, a better experience today than prior, and would come back with a larger group to explore more of the menu and their large list of Italian wines more fully. Didn’t hurt that the music tonight was all 80’s…

I’m curious. Do you feel if you order something in a restaurant, and don’t like it, should you have to pay for it or should they take it off the bill? Very interested in responses here…

Last night in Dallas before my 5:20am Saturday flight home and I’m back at Mamani, which has become my favorite restaurant in Dallas. Chose the fairly priced 2022 Domaine Vincent Dauvissat Chablis 1er Cru La Forest which I selected earlier in the day from their online wine list and had them decant it. Showed really well, and positive evolution in the glass. Started with the Barbajuan with Chanterelle, Swiss Chard, Smoked Paprika Aioli. Great bites. Next the Heirloom Tomato A Stracciatella, Macadamia, Buckwheat. This course was sent compliments of the house (I do try and remember to disclose this), and it was amazing. Ripe Heirlooms are unbeatable, and I think it was my older brother Chef Jimmy Bradley who introduced me to Stracciatella, and this brought back fond memories. This dish was summer in a bowl. Perfection. Next, Artichoke with Lobster, Sorrel, Green Apple. My friend Mark Miller always remarks on textures. This dish was textures aplenty! Both the Artichoke and Heirloom courses were perfect pairings for the Chablis. For my main, went with the incomparable Tagliatelle Rabbit Ragu Bianco, Fennel, Spring Peas, which I loved last time, and have been thinking about since my last visit. Along with Santi’s Michale White’s Rabbit Roulade, one of two perfect Rabbit dishes I’ve had. Tonight, didn’t disappoint. Wine worked well across all the courses, to be fair, I selected the courses earlier in the day to match the wine… Bread course is fantastic, but to be fair… for me it’s a vehicle for the French cultured butter Mamani imports from Rodolphe le Meunier in 5 kilo blocks. It’s AMAZING. Highest praise I have for any restaurant… I’d love to bring Sarah here. She’d love it, maybe replacing the Rabbit… cause she don’t dig on bunny, that’s all. (Extra points if you heard the last sentence in Samuel L. Jackson’s voice). BTW highest praise for Christopher De Lellis, the Paris-born chef who previously ran a restaurant for Joël Robuchon in Las Vegas and earned a Michelin star for Mamani within eight weeks of opening. Joël Robuchon had more (still does) Michelin Stars than any other Chef, and is known for for what???

Been several weeks since I received the Sassicaia 2023’s. Going to decant this for 90 mins before we leave for dinner. Sacrificing a bottle at this early stage to see if I should purchase even more than I already did, given this had the same 💯 rating the 2021 has, I have high hopes. At this stage, aroma and color are fantastic.
