Well I must say, the hype killed it for me. As a third child, I couldn’t help but love the trio plating concept, but honestly, I expected more. Presentation isn’t everything, as you can see from my melting dessert. On this particularly warm evening, while awaiting my very late friend (ahem jadedpalette.com), I happened to be seated next to a young sous chef from Vancouver. An ambitious foodie targeting his own restaurant by age of 30 (4 years to go), this friendly gentleman patiently endured the two of us in our quest to better understand the back ends of restaurants of the world. He was on his third foodie tour of San Francisco, and because he shared several similar insights into great restaurants and had ventured out on his birthday to dine solo at this famous spot in Union Square, we couldn’t help but add him to our party (after all, it was his birthday, and any decent human being would’ve done the same); and so the trio enjoyed three trio pre fixe courses. And eagerly planned out the next foodie journey.
