perilla

perilla was just ok.  trendy casual nyc village restaurant boasting top chef season 1 winner harold D. the food for me was what i fear when eating out at western eateries.  the rabbit app was not bad for rabbit. but it tasted like chicken so why not have chicken at half the exotic taste and fare.  why fight so hard against the "gaminess" of the animal.  unless u just want the natural gaminess to be the star flavor of the dish.  and the duck meatballs kind of didn't have any taste at all.  i wanted to reach for the red pepper flakes and that egg yolk mixture just made me want to eat a chicken meatball yakitori skewer and dipping it in egg yolk.  i can't remember dessert.  i didnt have the wine.  and i just drank tito's and soda's. company was good, our basta pasta group has grown fond of each other outside the dining establishments and ...and...lets see where all this goes...

i should stop eating out so much.
