I discovered they participate with Open Table (which I think is awesome) so I informed Alex I would really like to go…

Food is so wasted on me because I don’t know chefs. We went to Craft last year when we were up for Westminster, but we had eaten a really late lunch and didn’t want to actually “eat-eat.” I think we picked that place because it sounded like they had good appetizers and small plated food. But we ended up eating just this big plate of desserts.

I was so deathly ill when we were there I had forgotten all about it until Cece mentioned it in her comment. But it was really awesome.

You went to Craft while you were in NY?? I didn’t know that! I just read about how they have a special “cheaper menu” right now, so people on budgets can actually attempt to eat there. AND that’s Tom Colicchio’s first restaurant (I believe)! Totally jealous.

The next three lists are a bit harder. Home-cooked meals, restaurant desserts, and home-cooked desserts willtake a little while. I’ll try not to wait too long though!

Neat little trivia about Hotel Del Coronado – the silverware is from an old cruiseliner and they are magnetized. I guess that’s how they were kept from sliding around on the high seas. It’s also where Some Like It Hot was filmed!

Desserts get their own SEPARATE list! But my sickness has sort of masked a lot of that trip. Now that you mention it, that meal will definitely be on the dessert list!

Wow — I’m impressed! Maybe I’ll have to visit the Hotel Del next time I’m in San Diego! Though who knows what’s transpired in the 13+ years since you had the dish. In case you get to SD again, my favorite places are the Pizza Port (in Solana Beach – awesome pizza AND beer brewed on the premises), 910 (in La Jolla – outstanding regional fare), and Roys (in La Jolla – great seafood). So when do we see the home cooked meals so you can get credit for the 45 items? ;^)
