falling off the wagon at the wayfare tavern

Over the weekend me and two of my girlfriends drove to San Francisco to try out Tyler Florence's new restaurant called the Wayfare Tavern. As I have blogged before, I am in love with Ty-Flo. Unfortunately, he was not at the restaurant that night, but the food was delicious. I am pretty sure I consumed 3 days worth of calories. I fell off the wagon, but I enjoyed every bite.

Note: The photos are blurred because a.) they were taken with a mobile phone b.) I rushed every photo because someone behind me was talking about us taking photos of our food. Stupid old lady..

The first course

Deviled Eggs and Pancietta with melon cubes

(The deviled eggs were the best I've ever had because they were light, whipped and flavored with curry)

The main

Top Left Dish:

Steak Frites. The steak was perfectly cooked and had melted truffle butter on it. Anything with truffle butter or oil is 10 times more delicious.

Top Right Dish:

Sirloin Burger with Marin Brie, pickled red onion and an optional fried sunny side up egg on top. I did not get a chance to taste Amy's dish but it looked good.

Bottom Middle Dish

Salmon (topped with caviar) and served with potato salad and some sort of sea green. This was also 

delicious and tasted like the ocean.

Middle Dish:

Mac and Cheese side dish made with Jack cheese and garlic bread crumbs. The only way I can describe this mac and cheese is rich, buttery and gooey.

The Dessert

Of course we had to try two:

Chocolate Cream Pie which had a thin layer of dark chocolate cake right before the flaky crust and a Peach Pie topped with goat's milk ice cream. Surprisingly the goat's milk ice cream tasted like regular ice cream. I have had goats milk ice cream before and it tasted gamey like a goat. Both were very good but the warm peach pie was perfect. The crust was flaky, sweet and topped with sugared rosemary.

The weather was gorgeous (and not too cold) in the city. Inside of the restaurant is cozy and had a very homey feeling which is perfect for the American traditional food that is served.

Unfortunately, it is time for me to get back on the wagon. This is my version of tour-de-france (for lazy peeps... instead I tour HBO. I am currently watching the entire series of The Sopranos... I know, I'm like 10 years too late.)

Should I be sad that the only way I will exercise is with a t.v. in front of my face? Nah.. it's the American way.
