Share Our Strength

We had a unbelievable time at the Taste of the Nation fund raising event last night in Orange County. What’s not to love about a charity event with so much good food? Some of the best restaurants in Orange County were there. Amazing food, amazing people, amazing bands. We were sandwiched between a winery booth and a table for Jack Daniels. I think Andrew arranged this. Now accepting suggestions for hangover remedies.

I gotta tell ya, people loved the Kona Kampachi we served. Seared at the table, served with the sweet cherry tomatoes and fennel that we picked up at the Santa Monica farmer’s market earlier this week, smoked salt, and something something vinaigrette that Andrew apparently made out of awesomeness. Oh, and we would pluck some lemon thyme right off the plant and sprinkle it on top of the whole thing. Seriously, people would take a bite, look up and ask us what restaurant we were from, like they were ready to make reservations right there.

John and Andrew ready for the crowds.
