The Daily Sabs

i took today off to catch up on some sleep and well who am i kidding, i was planning ahead and knew there would be a beverage pairing with last night's meal. the meal, btw, was fabulous. corey lee is running a tight ship over at benu, and if you get the chance and want to part with your hard earned cash, you should go. there were so many good bites and pairings (hello foie gras xiao long bao paired with sour ale, where have you been all my life?!). And despite it being a bajillion course meal, i left feeling full but not bloated. it was slightly perfect, maybe more than perfect. the service was great and never heavyhanded, the sommelier was fun not stuffy, and it might just be new experience goggles, but i'm going to go out on a crazy limb here and say i liked it more than the French Laundry. there. i said it. they're very different experiences, so maybe it's not fair to compare. but they were both helmed by corey lee so it's kind of hard not to.

so what did we have tonight to follow up such a feast? why a slice of pizza pie of course!
