Featuring:
Best tapas (in a town suddenly filled with tapas): Julian Serrano
Best bread: Joel Robuchon (Note to “Mad Man” Mancini (who wrote the entry): Our staff thinks it’s a toss up between JR and Guy Savoy.)
Best dessert: Canneles de Bordeaux at SAGE (Unpleasant update: Shawn McClain informed us last night (2.4.11), that canneles were no longer on the menu, and Lura Poland was no longer with the restaurant.) ;-(

ELV is ashamed of himself. Not really, but it sounded like a good opening line.
Sake Finds Its Place In The Sun
Click here to read today’s New York Times article about the rise in premium sake in Las Vegas and elsewhere.
The article gives serious props to Shibuya, Social House and Sushi Samba (as places in our humble burg featuring superior sake), along with featuring pictures of (and quotes from) these two fabulous folks:
Shibuya G.M. Dieter Xiao (photo by Isaac Brekken for the New York Times)
Eric Swanson at Social House (photo by Isaac Brekken for the New York Times)
…and begins with the line: “Eric Swanson is on a mission.”
Indeed he is.
Kan pai!
