Sibling Rivalry, vacation time
Last night Alli and I went to Sibling Rivalry here in Boston to
celebrate the 23rd of the month (our monthly dating anniversary). Of
course, it was a bit late this month due to an extraordinarily busy
couple of weeks. I thought the idea behind the restaurant (rival Iron
Chef concept) was kind of cliche, but wanted to try it anyhow,
especially since it's in a building (Atelier 505) we've had our eye on
for a little while now, and we've started passively / slowly looking
for a place to buy.
Both Alli and I were floored by the quality of every single dish we
had, from the amuse bouche to dessert. This hadn't happened in a
fairly long time. Consistently great flavors, textures, presentations,
and service. I had both chefs' dishes in the "chillies and tomatilos"
category, Alli had the tuna tartar appetizer and the ritzy cod entree.
Then we shared the amazing, amazing, amazing Dacquoise dessert. We had
some an interesting Lolonis cab which was a decent match for the food,
and some nice ice wine to match. All highly recommended.
This blog will be largely quiet over the month of February, as Alli
and I are travelling first to Israel to visit my family, and then to
Italy to meet up with friends and catch some of the winter olympics in
person. (I get to check off another event on my life sports events
list: Final Four last year, Winter Olympics this year, hopefully
Summer Olympics in 2008 in Beijing, world cup soccer one of these
days, preferably next time it's held in Argentina or Brazil, and the
