I am sitting in the 30th street train station here in Philly waiting for them to open the track for my train to NYC! I am so excited! I had such a great time in Philly. This trip so far has been great. I will keep you posted later in the day (because I know you are all waiting with bated breath, LOL).

NYC!

I just finished dinner at WD 50 and it was weird and delicious and I took pictures of every dish to post later. Then they took me back and I met Wylie! He was humble and very nice and so damned cute I wish I could take him home. Now I am in a cab on my way to Times Square!

Dinner!

WD-50!

Here's my gastronomical adventure tonight.

Let's start off with the complimentary amuse bouche (I will try my best to remember what was in everything) of fried frog's legs with a pomegranate reduction with some sort of fruit balls that were sort of like caviar with kelp pieces on top. It was weird, I won't deny it, and it was the first time I had tried frog's legs, but it was interesting:

The dinner itself was very interesting, and the flavor combinations were totally mind blowing. While some of the things tasted very strange to me, I really appreciated the depths of flavor and the artistry and I was really glad I went there. How many times can you say you've had food like that? And like I said in my last post, Wylie Dufresne was so sweet and nerdy and cute and I told him how much I loved Top Chef and he said "Next time I'll try to do better" (in the current series "Top Chef Masters" he sort of flamed out in the first round, but I really appreciated his efforts) and I told him I thought he did well, and that he probably already knew who won (he winked at me and said "For $20 I'll tell you." and I laughed and said I didn't want to be spoiled...oh my god he is so cute) but I always love him on the show when he's a judge or a competitor.

So I had a blast. Then I went to Times Square - OMG it is insanity on a scale I have never witnessed before. It was really cool.

Ok, I have to go to bed. I'm exhausted. And tomorrow I'm getting together with [livejournal.com profile] msginnyo and I'm really excited!
