So, I like food. I like to eat. And on Saturday, I had to eat crow like nobody's business.
A good friend of ours had her wedding on Saturday in La Canada. I wrote on "the family calendar" that the wedding started at two. Anticipating glasses of champagne, we were ultra-responsible and took a cab up to the La Canada Country Club. Yeah, the wedding didn't start until six. Six. Six. Poor Patrick. I still feel terrible about that screw up. Sorry, baby.
We had four hours to kill so we took another cab back down the hill and walked along Foothill Boulevard, looking for a place to have a drink. We originally thought of Taylor's but they are seriously under construction. And thank goodness! Taylor's is fab, don't get me wrong, but we would have never found Dish.
How cute is this place? This is the restaurant side (can you tell it was between lunch and dinner? It got a lot busier around 5 when we were leaving) but we sat on the bar side.
Because it was the Kentucky Derby, we were treated to the Dish Mint Julip (Maker's Mark, mmm...) We ordered sweet potato fries and they were perfect-- hot and crisp without being soggy or sticky like sweet potato fries can be.
The bartender urged us to have a red velvet cupcake and, oh, I don't like red velvet cupcakes but look what we did to this one:
And then three-and-a-half seconds later:
Want one? You can either go to Dish (and you should) or you can watch how to make them here:
We can't wait to go back for a full meal!
