David and I recently celebrated our first anniversary at Feast...
...where David consumed every unappetizing part of an animal you can think of. Feast is actually a fabulous semi-new Houston restaurant that has been haled by the New York Times as "one of the 50 best new restaurants in the country". They boast rustic European fare - and specialize in innards.
Also because we're super romantic, I documented some of the highlights from his nine-course chef's tasting menu on film so others could be repulsed as well. Enjoy.
Roasted Bone Marrow
Chicken Hearts on Toast (I actually tried one of these)
Octopus and Potato Salad
Calf's Liver
Some kind of whole fish
Duck blood pudding
After our dinner (which truly was a fun experience. MY food was mundanely wonderful) we headed home to enjoy our cake topper.
The real one was disintegrated in the great freezer thaw-out of 2008 - aka Hurricane Ike - but our cake maker Susie, of Susie's Cakes, generously offered to make us a new (and fresh!) one.
Here's to the next year!

Yeah, I'm gonna have to go ahead and say that the bone marrow probably scares me the most. Even though it's one hell of a contest.
ReplyDeleteAaron must never learn of this place, or I'm sure he will want to go too.
Em's, what a great place-the restaurant and this blog! Actually the bone marrow was a pretty common 'fight over' food when I was growing up dirt poor in East Texas. The blood pudding, though, ugh. I had some in England and it wasn't my favorite. Do they have steak and kidney pie on the menu? I love that stuff.
ReplyDeleteI'll check back frequently, and hope I'm lucky enough to be around when you make the second cherry receipe. Looks really Yummy!!!
