Was that the one with Ken Oringer?

I wanted to see that.  I am in love with his cooking.

3 restaraunts in Boston: Clio (Ultra-high end french), Toro (Hig-end tapas), and La Verdad (cheap taqueria in Fenway).

They are all amazing.

Hmm, maybe the wife and I need to make a trip to Beantown for the 5th Anniversary.

this is true. some good quality espresso coffee somehow made my way, i just made regular coffee out of it, but it was very good indeed.

in fact, the red "markus" brand you see on the photo is the cheapest stuff you can get from the Aldi, and it's definitely less good than the "euroshopper", another cheap brand from another supermarket.

the aldi also got a slightly more expensive gold markus brand, which probably is better quality coffee, i gotta check if it's cheaper by the pound than the euroshopper variety. but this red brand will simply not do.

Dear past self.

The "gold brand" stuff is pure arabica, whereas the "red brand" stuff is robusta+arabica, with the proportions never listed on the cheaper brands, so it probably varies quite a lot.

Pure arabica is nice for a change, but too smooth for every day drinking.

Also, you were a snotty bitch. Please stop that. Oh wait, you already did 8)



Note to future self: try mixing up gold+red brand of extremely cheap ALDI coffee, see what happens.

The wife and I are planning a Boston get-away sometime this summer so I need to remember to look into these places.

One of his proteges is Jamie Bissonnette (and he won his episode of Chopped!), who now has a place called "Coppa" in the South End, which specializes in Italian Bistro-ish dishes, with a focus on charcuterie.  It's awesome.

Coffee:  Out of a can, into the filter.  Run water through it.  Serve hot.  Inna mug.

OR

Death Coffee (the cold-rolled/slow heated version)

Everything else is blasphemy.

I will, on principle, never patronize any restaurant if I am aware that the chef there has been on a reality TV cooking show.

Clio, however, is awesome. If that dude has ever been on some Food Network piece of schlock, I don't want to know about it.
