Summer fare, in lieu of summer Fair: Giving props to the Restaurants, cooks & chefs that taught me about food & life & stuff. James G at @houlihans on the Plaza & John Roe at #newpointegrill - Salmon, Steak, & neighbor’s maters New Zealand, sauv blanc - Massey Dacta - not Massey Ferguson - but likely related, by 1st name & engineering specs - & Jack approves of this pairing A nod to Kenny Budweiser, formerly @chomp_fullerton & many years ago at @pekinggardenmn Minnesota, St Paul w/ this non-traditional #porkfriedrice topped w/ guac, basil, & more maters. Faces, not on Mears Park Guac atThe Rockin’ Taco, Fullerton, was creamy & chunky, simultaneously, w/ plenty of lime & cilantro to kick up the flavor -a little extra work but so delish. I don’t know who to credit for the charred Sweet corn, tomato & basil salad but it was definitely a staple throughout our summery meals in Maryland - Flat Iron steaks at #TheWineMarket w/ Ian Stanford directing the kitchen & serving up a lot of Tomfoolery on the side. And Grandma Di’s strawberry sorbet topped w/ fall raspberries, plucked hours earlier. Grandma & Grandpa gave the girls a lesson in raspberry picking @connellsfamilyorchard - they loved it. #diamondlkbistro #diamondlkphotography #mplsfoodie #summerfare #mentors #cooks #chefs #wisconsin #sota #foodculture #sauvblanc #sorbet #diamondlkgirls #foodie #eatdrinkdishmpls #goodeats #byesummer https://www.instagram.com/p/CEe4TrgH4r_/?igshid=c0kxpu9o4giw
